Important Highlights
Improvements
- External Authentication changes: Any external authentication user will only login via the external provider. This also means a local user will never attempt an external authentication.
- Implemented the ability to clone report bundles to allow for sharing bundles. Any bundle a user can see is eligible to be cloned.
- Admin and USAS-Manager roles already contain the admin_reports permission needed to see report bundles created by other users. If a user with a lesser role needs the ability to clone report bundles they didn't create, the admin_reports permission must be granted.
- Created a Requisition Approval Report to show all requisitions currently in the workflow process. The report includes the requisition number, username, action (status of the requisition), timestamp and notes.
- Corrected the report link to work with Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). Those districts using MFA will now be able to use the report link. Users will be required to create a Personal Access Token (PAT) for their user account, which can be done under the Show User Profile option of the Utility menu. Once the PAT has been created a new report link will need to be generated as it will use the PAT to validate the user and prevent the user from having to authenticate before refreshing the report.
