View and Edit Permissions for Nutrition and Intolerance Information

• Available by default? - No
• Set up by customer admin? - Yes
• Enable via support ticket? - No
• Affects configuration or data? - No

What's Changing?

The single 'View Nutrition and Intolerance information' permission has now been split into separate 'view' and 'edit' permissions. For existing user groups that already have permission to 'View Nutrition and Intolerance information', the 'Edit Nutrition' permission will be enabled as part of the release. This is so that the permission to 'Edit Nutrition' does not disappear unexpectedly. 

Reason for the Change

So that designated ingredient and recipe builders can see the nutrition information without being able to change it.

Customers Affected

All customers using RME Nutrition functionality.

Release Note Info/Steps

Fig. 1 - Nutrition Permissions are now split into View and Edit

These new permissions will be located within User Group Permissions, under the header Nutrition Permissions.
