Check what is new

The What's new area provides information about changes to models. If the What's new area is added to Home and the prerequisites are fulfilled, new and modified models that have gone through the approval process of all published databases are listed.

The following prerequisites must be fulfilled so that approval processes of published databases are displayed in the What's new area.

  • You have at least read access to the group of the databases for which models are approved.

    To view, comment, edit, delete, and version database content, users need access privileges to the related database groups. To save time, you can grant access to user groups so that all members have access to the selected database groups. You can also grant access to individual users. Users that have the Database administrator function privilege in the ARIS Administration automatically have access to all the databases of a tenant. You cannot change privileges of database administrators or tenant-wide system users.

      On the right-hand side, all user groups are listed to which you can grant access privileges. If you select Users, all users are listed.

    4. Click Edit Edit to manage the access privileges of a user group. For users, you can only manage access privileges that were granted to the user.
