SAI Platform Updates

With the 03.01.2023 release of SORBA, improvements have been made to several portions of the platform. The Identity Server now provides users with the capability to assign roles with specific permissions to different users. The Task Flow enables users to deploy Over the Air Updates to easily stay up to date with the latest version of SORBA. This release also contains additional IOT Connectors and the new notification node, as well as a variety of visual changes.

This new release will be available on March 1, 2023.

OPC-UA

Connectivity

Removed a hardcoded timeout when reading operation limits after session establishment.

Identity Server Edge

‍

Admin, Editor, Viewer, Custom Roles

With the updated Identity Server, users can be defined as various roles, including the default roles of admin, editor, and viewer, each role having certain permissions. You also have the ability to create custom roles that have custom permissions different from the three default roles.

Fine Grained Access Control, Users/Roles

Through assigning different roles to different users you can control what portions of the platform different users have access to within SORBA, including assigning custom permissions through the creation of custom roles.

Multi-Tenancy

With the updated Identity Server, you can create multiple tenants within the same instance. Each tenant has separate logins and the admins of each tenant only have control over their own tenant. Users within that tenant can only access and alter the data and models within their specific tenant.

API Registration

On the API tab of the Identity Server, users can view and edit the endpoints for the various API's that make up SORBA. Users can also import new API's using this feature.

Audit Trail

Can use the system events to view all changes made within the Identity Server.
