License Statistics v6.22 restructured how License Statistics user account permissions are managed.
- Permissions are now controlled using roles: Administrator, User, or custom-defined
- Visibility settings are controlled separately from permissions
During migration:
- All accounts will gain permission to see all reports
- Administrator accounts will keep the Administrator role, with permissions to access data for all license servers/features
- Administrator accounts will keep their visibility settings
- User accounts will keep the User role, with their account visibility settings migrated as specified in the table below
