CMDB 2.0 post-upgrade procedures
After an upgrade to CMDB 2.0, you must assign permission sets to your users or update field-level security of the new fields added to Base Element. Also, you must make changes based on the customizations that were present in CMDB 1.0.
The following topics are provided:
Managing field permissions
After the CMDB 2.0 upgrade procedure is complete, you must assign correct permission sets to your users or update the field-level security of new fields of the Base Element object. To ensure that your users are able to see all the fields of the Base Element object, assign the ServiceDesk Staff, ServiceDesk Change Manager, or Remedyforce Administrator permission sets to your users. If you are using profiles, configure the field-level security of the fields added to the Base Element object for all the required profiles.
For information about new fields of the Base Element object and the procedures to assign permission sets and update field-level security, see 20.14.01 profile-level permissions in the post-upgrade procedures repository.
