Overview

You must migrate to the 2022/06 bsn.cloud APIs if you want to use any of the Series 5 players (except the AU335, which is supported in bsn.cloud 2020/10 APIs). In previous versions, these players will show up as "unknown" and new video walls, 8K images and other Series 5 related features are not supported.

Business Operations Appliance Changes

Business operations are accessed in BrightAuthor:connected through:

• The Admin > Permissions page, where customers create custom roles and defines player permissions
• The Entity Property panels (Content, Player Group, Presentation) where a customer defines object permissions for specific instances

In previous API versions, the business operations listed also included non-applicable operations. We addressed this usability bug by providing new information in the OperationAppliance property which has the listed values shown below. Please update your clients and display in the places where you define permissions or collections of entities, please display only the Business These entities have changedas shown below:

• Business Operations Entity (2022/06)  was extended by the [OperationAppliance] Appliance property.
• The OperationAppliance enumeration was defined. It may have one or more unique { "Instance", "Collection", "Unknown" } values. The "Instance" value indicates that the given business operation applies to specific entity instances. The "Collection" value indicates that the given business operation applies to collections of entities, in an entire network and associated folders, and may be shown on the "Permissions" page and the Folder Properties panel.

Please update your client and display as follows:

• In places where you define permissions or collections of entities, display only the BusinessOperations which have Collection values. In BrightAuthor:connected, this would be the Admin > Permissions page, where you can create custom roles and define player permissions.
  
• In places where you define instance-specific permissions, please display only BusinessOperations which have Instance values. In BrightAuthor:connected, this would be in the entity properties panels (Content, Player Group, Presentation) where you can define object permissions for specific instances.
