Uncountable has updated how specs permissions work to improve performance and make access more consistent. With this change, each material family now has its own spec definition. Users will only be able to view a spec if they have Read access to that material family’s spec definition.
The initial change updates Read permissions only (who can view specs). A later release will address Write permissions (who can edit specs).
What’s changing
Material-family specific spec definitions
Each material family now has its own spec definition.
- All specs in a material family will be associated with that material family’s spec definition.
- A user can view a spec only if they have Read access to the spec’s material family–specific definition (either directly or via a user group).
Why this change
Previously, spec visibility was derived from multiple permission scopes (e.g. project and material family access). This new permissions model standardizes spec visibility by aligning access with permissions on the spec definition.
