Important upgrade notes

Report builder changes

Organisation managers can no longer access the reports on their team by default. Instead, tenant administrator needs to create new report, add a condition "Relation to report viewer" and set the "Audience" to include an organisation manager's job.

Certificates

Upgrade script will automatically unallocate the existing certificates from the tenants and allocate them to the respective course categories of the tenants. However if there was a tenant without course category and with the certificates, the administrator needs to fix it manually - create a category for the tenant and move the certificate to this category.

Capability 'tool/certificate:verifyforalltenants' is removed and instead we have 'tool/certificate:verify' that will allow to verify the certificates for any tenant (by code).

Capability 'tool/certificate:issueforalltenants' is removed. Person who has capability 'tool/certificate:issue' can issue certificates to users from their tenant. If such user also has capabilities allowing him to view users from other tenants, they will be able to issue certificate to all users.

Capability 'tool/certificate:manageforalltenants' is removed. Instead capability 'tool/certificate:manage' can be assigned in different contexts and will work on templates that are defined in the relevant contexts.

Capability 'tool/certificate:issue' can now be assigned in different contexts (system or course category). User who has it can issue certificates that are defined in the same context (or lower).

Capability 'tool/certificate:imageforalltenants' is renamed to 'tool/certificate:image' - allows to manage shared images.

Capability 'tool/certificate:viewallcertificates' can also be assigned in different contexts now. Similar to 'issue' capability user will only see users from the same tenant (unless he has other capabilities that allow him to view users in other tenants)

The element type "Program" is now called "Dynamic rule data"

Setting limits for tenant-related data

It is possible for site administrators to limit the amount of data related to a tenant for certain features:

• The number of tenants can be restricted by setting '$CFG->tool_tenant_tenantlimit = <VALUE>;' in your site configuration
• The number of custom reports can be restricted per site/tenant by setting '$CFG->tool_reportbuilder_sitelimit' and '$CFG->tool_reportbuilder_tenantlimit' respectively
• The number of dynamic rules can be restricted per site/tenant by setting '$CFG->tool_dynamicrule_sitelimit' and '$CFG->tool_dynamicrule_tenantlimit' respectively
