ART-DECOR Releases 2.x and Future Releases on 3.x

We have made many update since 2018 (see Releases) but did not continue to tell you about our plans for the next time and near future (aka roadmap). We will update our roadmap very soon for Release 2.x and also for 3.0 (to appear in 2021 with lots of new features). Thanks to all our customers for their patience, you will be surprised...

– Happily, your ART-DECOR Expert Team and ART-DECOR Open Tools

Role Based Access to DECOR

  • Coverage
    40% done
    Implement more fine grained role based access to DECOR. As is currently the case, everyone regardless of role, has read access. You need to be someone with a specific background to gain write access too. You need to be appointed specially to also perform certain tasks such as finalizing a dataset/value set/template. This last category of tasks is dubbed authorization. The exact user stories behind each role and maybe a better name then "authorize" is to be determined. This proposal should also include xis (and xis-admin?), governance groups and communities. Proposal:
read/write authorize
decor-admin all all
dataset-editor dataset
dataset-admin dataset dataset
terminology-editor terminology
terminology-admin terminology terminology
scenario-editor scenario
scenario-admin scenario scenario
templates-editor templates
templates-admin templates templates
issues-editor issues issues
