💥 Breaking changes:
🔒 Security change – the “visible perspectives” settings for users/groups are now included in the calculation of inherited access. Previously having access to a perspective did not influence the inheritance of rights, meaning that any global access would flow down to all perspectives and elements, unless explicitly removed at a lower level. Now access will not be inherited onto perspectives the users cannot access.
👀 A typical scenario where this become visible will be non-admin users unable to insert CMS Functions *getting an empty tree to choose from( – this can be solved by setting explicit read permissions on the “All Functions” element or by allowing read permissions to be inherited past hidden perspectives, see below.
You can control this behavior using the attribute inheritGlobalReadPermissionOnHiddenPerspectives in ~/App_Data/Composite/Composite.config. Setting this attribute to true will allow users with global read access to read structures like the CMS Functions tree, even though they have now been granted access to the Function perspective.
