• The right "Create project" is now only available in the Project administrator role. A newly created project can be viewed directly by the project administrator. A new project is automatically assigned to users via the assignment of countries or organisational units.

• The functional group "Assigned users and persons" has been renamed "Assigned users" and has been updated to the new table technology, so that improved table functions are available.
• The "Personnel number" field has been added to a user's master data. In the organisational settings, you can specify whether the field is automatically assigned numerically or entered manually alphanumerically. In the manual case, you can specify whether it is a mandatory field.

• In the user administration, the actions in the history have been adjusted to the two logged actions "activated" and "deactivated". The "archived" and "reactivated" actions will no longer exist in future.
