Improved feature: Greater control over resource type management

(Note: This feature was improved during sprints 632-637 with the latest update deployed on August 15.)

This update gives organisations more control over how resource types are created and managed.
Organisation (super-)admins can now:

  • Decide whether provider admins can create new resource types
  • Restrict access to global resource types
  • Link specific resource types to one or more providers and/or organisations they manage

Key changes:

  1. Removed unused and misunderstood options
    • Removed the image, description, and “Exclude from resource searches” options from resource types. These options were rarely used and often misunderstood.
    • Resource admins can no longer add new resource types from the Settings tab in the Edit Resource dialog. They were only able to do so under certain circumstances.

  2. New organisation option: Disable resource type creation
    • When enabled, only organisation superadmins can create new resource types.
    • Provider admins can only select from existing resource types in the Settings tab of the Edit Resource dialog and in the Create Resource dialog,

  3. Exclude global resource types
    • Available only if the option "Disable resource type creation" is enabled.
    • Hides resource types applied to “All” from the grid in Admin > Resources > Types as well as in resource type dropdowns in Edit Resource and Create Resource dialogs.

  4. Linking resource types to organisations
    • New organisation multi-select field added in Create/Edit Resource Type dialogs.
    • Linked resource types will be available to all providers affiliated with the selected organisations.
    • Organisation superadmins can select organisations they are superadmin or organizaton admin of.

  5. Import template update
    • Import template now supports provider and/or organisation GUIDs.
    • Multiple entries can be separated with a semicolon.
