FAIR Release Notes: 2.22.0

First released: 22nd October 2024

Summary

This release introduces the ability to request a workspace as part of the DAR process.

It also includes updates to cohort builder, further changes in support of user groups and self service management of external datasets.

The release also includes a number of minor bug fixes.

Workspace Requests in a DAR

From this release the following FAIR curated roles will have the workspace request permission added as standard:

  • Data Manager
  • Data Steward
  • Standard

This means that users with those roles will have the ability to request a new workspace as part of the DAR process

Where hub administrators have created custom roles, the permission will need to be added to those manually as required.

Update Dataset UI Pages to update based on Datasource Feature AvailabilityEnhancementFAIR-7573

This introduces changes to the FAIR UI that make it more responsive to the data source, removing features that are not available.
