Role name changes

Role names were changed in Tachyon Platform 8.0. You will notice these changes if you are upgrading from version 5.2 or earlier.

For a full list of role names, please refer to:

  • Roles and Securables reference page, which contains a copy of the notes below, details about renamed roles, and roles that are recommended to replace the ones that have been retired

  • Roles page, which contains guidance on how to configure custom roles.

The upgrade process makes the following changes:

  1. New roles are created, if they do not exist already:

    New system roles

    • Group Administrator

    • Guaranteed State Policy Assigner

    • Installer

    • Tachyon System

    New Custom roles

    • Experience Administrator

    • Experience Engagement Assigner

    • Patch Success Administrator

  2. The Tachyon user doing the upgrade is automatically assigned to the Installer role. The user is also unassigned from the following roles, if assigned before the upgrade:

    • Applications Administrators

    • Consumer Administrators

    • Event Subscription Administrators

    • Instruction Set Administrators

    • Permissions Administrators

  3. Tachyon users associated with the NT AUTHORITY/NETWORK SERVICE and machine accounts, are assigned to the Tachyon System role. These users will also be unassigned from the following roles, if assigned before the upgrade:

    • Applications Administrators

    • Consumer Viewers

    • Engagement Administrator

    • Management Group Sync Initiators

    • Offloaders

    • Permissions Viewers

  4. Several old roles are renamed

    2. An exception is in the unlikely event that the Nomad Admins role exists, it is renamed to Nomad Administrator unless that role already exists, in which case it is renamed to Nomad Administrators instead

    3. Global Questioner, Global Actioner, Global Viewer, and Global Approver roles have been renamed with Global... replaced by All instructions...

Role names

Tachyon Platform 5.2 onwards no longer allows the use of dots in role names, for example Questioners.Core, and roles will no longer work after an upgrade. Therefore, please review your custom role names before upgrading.
