- Introduced new role, Account Administrator, to reduce the burden on notebook Owners when it comes to managing notebook members. This new role can be assigned only by notebook Owners in the updated Account Manager tool, and grants the Account Administrator access to all notebooks as part of the role. The Account Administrator can access the Account Manager tool on behalf of the Owner to add and remove users. Notebooks Administrators (formerly “Administrators) can be added to select notebooks as usual for specific notebook management. More information on roles and permissions in the ELN can be found here.
