[IMDS]IMDS update: IMDS Release 15.0 & Updated User Privileges
29 Jun 2025
With the implementation of IMDS Release 15.0, effective July 5/6, 2025, the user management system will be updated to allow feature-based access control. This means that privileges can now be assigned individually for each function. Additionally, multiple privileges can be granted simultaneously through predefined “Authorization presets”.
While these changes enhance the granularity of access control, they also introduce complexity in the privilege assignment and management process. In this session, we will preview how these updates will be reflected in the user interface.

Before: The Responsibility displayed only a limited list of functions
