March 2019 Summaries

Postman has expanded its roles and permissions features to improve team workflow organization by allowing more granular control over team member assignments. Previously, roles could be assigned at the collection and team levels, but with the new update, roles can now also be designated at the workspace level, introducing two new roles: Workspace Collaborator and Workspace Admin. The extension aims to accommodate diverse team structures and enhance collaborative capabilities, with plans to introduce even more roles for increased flexibility. To utilize these new features, teams must migrate to Postman v7.0, which requires a unique update process detailed in their migration resources.

Postman version 7.0 introduces significant backend changes that enhance user experience and access control mechanisms, urging both individual users and teams to migrate for continued feature access and improvements. Individual users can update through the app settings, while team admins must initiate the migration process through the Postman dashboard to maintain collaboration features, as version 6 users will lose syncing capabilities until they update. The new version introduces extended roles and permissions, enabling more detailed management of access at collection, team, and workspace levels, with future feature releases being exclusive to version 7.0. The migration process is designed to be straightforward, and users are encouraged to contact Postman's community forum for any inquiries.
