Permissions and Validations for Published Attributes Updates
New levels of permissions and built-in validations are available to set guidelines around how your team interacts with Published Attributes in the Alloy platform. This ensures that only the appropriate Published Attributes can be edited by an agent, and also ensures that certain Published Attributes can be updated only to a value that makes sense.
Admin users are able to set permissions and configurations for editing and updating Published Attributes. Admins are able to:
- Select which Published Attributes can be updated by agents in the dashboard
- Set parameters for the set or range of values that can be accepted in a given Published Attribute
All relevant API endpoints have been updated to ensure that “configurable by agents” and “acceptable values” can be set or updated via API as well as via the dashboard.
In addition, built-in validations will display error messages when:
- An admin attempts to set default values and optional acceptable values that conflict with each other
- An agent attempts to make an invalid update on a Published Attribute on an entity, i.e. an update that falls outside of the set parameters of the Published Attribute
