Version 4.1

Upgrade Notes

Loome Publish 4.1 introduces the following requirement;

  • A new security requirement in its Azure application registration.

The new search feature in the product introduces a background process to cache metadata around assets in the portal. This requires the application to make background calls to Azure AD Graph API as the application itself to resolve stored user/group object IDs to their respective display names.

To do this, the application requires the application read permission on Azure AD to be assigned to it. This requires a global administrator to assign.

Follow the steps below to assign the new permission to the Azure app.

From the Azure menu, select ‘Azure Active Directory’.

Then click on ‘App Registrations’.

Use the search box to locate the app registration for your Loome Publish portal.

Click on the app registration to open it.
