CompuTec AppEngine Authorizations
Starting with CompuTec AppEngine 3.0, all CompuTec AppEngine authorizations are available under the CompuTec AppEngine authorization node.
The authorization structure used in CompuTec AppEngine 2.0 has been deprecated and is no longer used in Computec AppEngine 3.0.
Authorization structure in CompuTec AppEngine 3.0
In CompuTec AppEngine 3.0, the root authorization node is:
| Root Authorization Node ID | Root Authorization Node Name |
|---|---|
AppEngine | CompuTec AppEngine |
All CompuTec AppEngine authorizations are located under this node.
The following authorization groups are available:
| Authorization Group | ID |
|---|---|
| Analytics | AE_Analytics |
| Plugins | AE_Plugins |
| Custom | CT_AE_Custom |
Additional permissions are created under these groups as needed. For example:
- Analytics permissions use the
CTAN_prefix. - Plugin permissions use the
CTPL_prefix.
Deprecated authorization structure
In CompuTec AppEngine 2.0, the root authorization node was:
| Root Authorization Node ID | Root Authorization Node Name |
|---|---|
CT_AppEngine | AppEngine |
Starting with CompuTec AppEngine 3.0:
- The legacy authorization structure is no longer created.
- Existing authorizations under the AppEngine node are deprecated.
- CompuTec AppEngine 3.0 does not use permissions assigned under the
CT_AppEnginenode.
Important migration information
When reviewing existing authorizations, note that the term AppEngine is used differently in the two authorization structures:
| Version | ID | Name |
|---|---|---|
| CompuTec AppEngine 2.0 (deprecated) | CT_AppEngine | AppEngine |
| CompuTec AppEngine 3.0 | AppEngine | CompuTec AppEngine |
This difference can be confusing when searching for authorization nodes or comparing configurations between versions.
If you are upgrading from CompuTec AppEngine 2.0, verify that user permissions are assigned under the CompuTec AppEngine authorization node used by CompuTec AppEngine 3.0.
