With the migration of user management from the legacy Flash UI to the latest Perfecto UI, roles have undergone some changes. Some roles have gone away because the permissions they used to grant are now available to all users. Some roles were discontinued because the functionality no longer exists. Some roles have expanded or changed slightly. The following table maps old roles to new roles, as applicable, with proper descriptions of both.
For a complete list of legacy roles, see Legacy | Roles and Groups.
