Deprecation: Legacy Permissions

[Becky_Powell]

Category: Platform API

Summary: Effective immediately, PureCloud will no longer make enhancements or improvements to the following deprecated permissions:

We ask that customers begin using supported permissions when configuring user roles. For your reference, we have provided a list of replacement permissions below.

You may still use the depreceated permissions until the end of life date on April 17th, 2019.

Impact:

• No sooner than January 23rd, 2019: deprecated permissions will no longer be added to the Admin role by default.
• No later than April 24th, 2019: PureCloud Development will migrate permissions marked with an asterisk (*) to equivalent, supported permissions for existing users.
• No later than April 16th, 2019: customers must cease to utilize deprecated permissions when creating or updating roles.

Date of Change: 04/17/2019

Impacted APIs: Authorization

Revised 04 February 2019 to remove permissions that will not be deprecated at this time and to provide recommended mappings.

Revised 15 February 2019 with additional permission deprecations.

Revised 15 April 2019 to update permission migration date.

Hello @Becky_Powell.
Do you know the reason of this deprecation? There are permissions or group of permissions that replace the deprecated ones?

regards.

They are being deprecated because they do not follow the standard naming structure for permissions. See the list of supported permissions linked above for the permissions you should use instead.

Hi @tim.smith, @Becky_Powell,
Some of these permissions are allocated to default roles like admin or employee.
Will the roles be updated with new permissions to allow maintaining the existing services ?

example, remove General > Employee from the employeee default role, and try to login as an agent with default roles employee and PureCloud User, and the experience is quite different.
I have tested on an org in EMEA Ireland region (just in case the region is relevant)

Thanks,

Jean-Christophe

Perfect! thank you.

Hi Tim - I know the current set of permissions are described at https://help.mypurecloud.com/articles/products-roles-and-permissions-list/, but if you could provide us with a mapping between deprecated permission and corresponding new permission, that would be great. We can 'guess', but we just want to make sure. Thanks!

[Becky_Powell]

We will publish recommended mapping within the next few days. Stay tuned!

Hi Becky,

Any news on the permission mapping documentation ?
We have several customers with custom roles which were replicating some of the admin role permissions and therefore will need to update accordingly.
Many thanks,

Jean-Christophe

Hello Jean-Christophe,

Please note that we have published our recommended mappings here.

Additionally, please note that we have postponed our plans to deprecate the following permissions until further notice:

Kind Regards,

Hi,
The resource centre page Deprecation: Legacy permissions is referring to another set of permissions. Should they be taken in account ?

Many thanks,
Jean-Christophe

Hello Jean-Christophe,

I have updated the annoucement and the recommended mappings to include the additional permissions.

Best,
Becky

Hi Becky,
Thanks for the update.
If you have the facility, it would be very useful to have the list in text form instead of a picture.
Kind regards,
