We are pleased to announce the release of the Oriana low-code platform version 7.1.001.2m. This release includes the following changes:
Main changes
SQL Server 2022 is officially supported
The Unicode Upgrade Tool now requires .NET 6 runtime to run
User Rights Manager (URM)
The Oriana Platform’s User Rights Manager allows you to define which application components can be reached by which user through their configured permission. The authorization system that can be designed with our Platform is based on roles (RBAC), which group the permissions granted to application components. These permissions are fine-tunable by specifying conditions attached to user and data properties (ABAC).
Among the elements that make up the application, access permissions can be set for menus, screens (submenus), tab controls, filters, buttons (functions), links, edit forms, input fields, list columns and data rows. Permissions for system elements for which there is no explicit permission setting will be set to the application’s default permission. The basic permission can be permissive or prohibitive and is defined at the time of deployment.
Highlighted features
URM is a separate service with its own user interface. One URM can serve multiple applications.
Role management: add, remove roles, change their properties such as validity period or activated state.
Assigning groups, users, departments to different roles, company-specific, with a validity period, activated status setting.
Application component permissions per role: for the parts that build the application, it is possible to specify that a user in each role has edit, read, or deny rights.
Rule-based permissions: component permissions can be linked to runtime-evaluated conditions. These rules apply to the user and data attributes.
Full logging of permission settings: any changes applied to a setting are saved. In addition, in the History Log user interface, the privileges of users for a given date can be retrieved.
Portable permissions settings between Platform applications: through the Studio application block export-import tool, the permissions applied to the components are portable between Platform applications.
Condition field editor: Fields used in rules for permissions can be defined in Studio Consultant.
Technical requirements
The User Rights Manager tool requires the .NET 6.0 runtime (preferably the hosting bundle) library, RabbitMQ, so they need to be installed in the runtime environment.
Obsolete/ Discontinued functionality
The Platform and its components do not support the SQL Server 2012 and 2014. The application cannot be installed or upgraded on these SQL Server versions. Use SQL 2016 or higher.
