New Privileges for Project Manager and Viewer License Types

Users assigned to Project Manager licenses can now be allowed to create new process versions and release those versions as valid, if their permissions allow these operations. Experienced project managers can now be empowered to perform the full process lifecycle without the help of users with Modeling licenses: select process modules, tailor the processes through the tailoring assistant, perform manual tailoring optimizations, create a process versions, and release it as valid for the process participants in that project.

Users with Viewer licenses can now also see compliance mappings. To enable, add a read permission with domain “Compliance” to the respective user group.
