Renaming Role Object will it create new role In IIQ

[amulpuru (Avinash Mulpuru)]

Hi Sailors,

have we seen any issue before while renaming object in IIQ? In one of the webservices application , few of role names are renamed, so, was thinking if just change display name or rename whole object itself to avoid any confusion.

will renaming object will create new role
what will happen to the user X who has this role Assigned
anything extra I need to look into before doing the change

Disable old role and creating fresh new role, will requires to run batch request for role assignment approval.

thanks in advance,

avi.

Hi Avinash, You can rename the role names, once you rename the role. Once the role details are updated, run the role propagation task.Got to Setup—>Tasks—>New Task---->Select Propagate Role Changes.

Hi @naveenkumar3 ,

Actually we have made a name change in few roles in our feature branch and pushed to dev , stage

In git we do id clean up right will this create a new role instead of updating old role names

Also user x maybe have old role still assigned if it creates new role

If we change it from the debug page
How do we keep track of change

If you can please help in finding answers

Please find the below answer.

Does renaming a role in Git create a new role?	Yes, IIQ treats renamed roles as new if name/id changes; old role remains unless deleted.
What if user still has old role assigned?	The user retains old role until it is explicitly removed or role is disabled/deleted.
How to keep track if changed via Debug page?	Use IIQ audit logs and Git version control; avoid Debug for changes;
