The latest update in a leading enterprise resource planning (ERP) cloud platform brings a variety of user experience and security improvements designed to enhance usability, streamline administration, and improve access management.
User Experience Improvements
Updated Interface for Setup Pages
The modernized layout previously introduced for transaction pages has now been extended to all financial setup areas. Key design changes include:
- Rearranged fields, buttons, and content regions for improved clarity across devices
- A new icon set with a simplified appearance for better usability
- Enhanced action icons with tooltips for quick identification of function
Personalization Options
Users can now tailor their navigation experience more effectively:
- Show or hide specific menu items and shortcuts in the navigation bar and dashboard
- Enabled icons are now marked in dark gray, while disabled ones appear light gray
- Tooltips display descriptions when hovering over icons
- Preview announcements before publishing them on the homepage
- Add system or custom actions to notification dialogs
Security and Access Management Enhancements
Centralized Security Console
Administrative functions related to identity and role management are now consolidated in a unified security interface. Previously separate tools have been replaced, making it easier to manage users and access rights in one place.
Key capabilities include:
- View, lock, unlock, and manage user accounts
- Directly manage roles without needing to select a specific application
- Work with predefined privileges without manual creation or assignment
- Define role structure with flexibility, including privileges, grouped privileges, and nested roles
Visual and Tabular Role Analysis
A set of tools allows for more intuitive role management:
- Visualize specific role components using filters (e.g., privileges, aggregates, sub-roles)
- Analyze role contents in a tabular format showing direct and indirect assignments
- Perform searches within the role hierarchy to quickly locate security elements such as roles, users, or privileges
Improved Data Security Model
From this release forward, data access is assigned using a user-based model instead of auto-generated data roles. This streamlines permission management and aligns with updated security practices.
User Account Management Enhancements
Administrators can now:
- Create and manage implementation user accounts
- Assign roles to users across various business roles (e.g., internal users, suppliers, partners)
- Reset or assign passwords manually or automatically
- Temporarily lock or unlock user accounts based on business requirements
Username Generation Rules
A new feature enables automated generation of usernames based on attributes such as first/last name, email, or ID numbers. If these patterns fail, the system can generate a username using fallback logic.
These updates provide a more unified and secure administrative experience, while also giving end users greater flexibility in navigating and interacting with the system. The enhancements are designed to support scalability, compliance, and ease of use in complex organizational environments.
