This article provides information about the retirement and replacement of certain roles and permissions in IT Benchmarking.
- When did the changes occur?
This retire and replace action is complete, effective 08/17/2018.
- Who was impacted by this change?
All current Apptio Interactive Benchmarking customers with users who have the AIS BM role and/or custom roles with one or more of the 12 permissions listed in section 3.
- What roles and permissions were retired and replaced?
The AIS BM role and the following 12 permissions were retired and replaced:
CreateCustomer
CreateProfile
EditCustomer
EditProfile
EditBenchmark
ViewBenchmark
ViewCustomer
ViewProfile
GenerateBenchmark
GenerateSurvey
OverrideTrial
ImportSurvey
- Why were these roles/permissions changed?
As an extension of the introduction the new Interactive Benchmarking View Only role in Interactive Benchmarking v1.8, we cleaned a legacy role and legacy permissions to simplify and reduce the number of roles and permissions required to use the product.
The impacted roles and permissions were re-assigned as shown in the table in section 4 (below).
- What happened to the users who were assigned these legacy roles and permissions?
Apptio swapped or removed the AIS BM role and permissions for in such a way that the user experience after the swap will match their current experience. The logic we used for this exercise is detailed in the table below:
Legacy Role/Permission | New Role/Permission |
AIS BM | Interactive Benchmarking Power User (If the user is not already assigned one of these roles: Apptio Admin, Admin, Apptio Partner, Interactive Benchmarking Power User) |
User has one/some/all of the following permissions: CreateCustomer CreateProfile EditCustomer EditProfile EditBenchmark | ConfigureInteractiveBenchmarking |
User has one/some/all of the following permissions: ViewBenchmark ViewCustomer ViewProfile | ViewInteractiveBenchmarksAndCostData |
User has one/some/all of the following permissions: GenerateBenchmark GenerateSurvey OverrideTrial ImportSurvey | These permissions are fully legacy and will be deleted from the custom roles that contain them |
You will find audit log entries in the Environment Access Log and Provisioning Log about the changes performed by an Apptio domain account.
