Release notes: Citizen Space v7.51

Citizen Space version 7.51 was released the week beginning 25th November 2024.

We’re excited to introduce Workspaces — our new approach to how Citizen Space is structured.

Workspaces replaces Departments

This update replaces Departments with a more flexible way to organise your engagement activities and manage your teams. We’ve added new features, giving you an expanded set of activity access capabilities, streamlined user admin workflows, and enhanced flexibility to work across internal teams and subject areas.

Users can now belong to multiple Workspaces

This means users can work across different department areas and teams, ensuring that Citizen Space reflects the collaborative work your organisation is doing.

Activities can have multiple admins

Admin responsibility for activities can now be shared between users. Each activity will still have a single owner, but you can add multiple admins with the same capabilities to an activity. This makes it easier for colleagues to create and manage activities together for more strategic collaboration and oversight.

Streamlined user types

You now add internal users as either Site Admins or Site Members with refined user access at the Workspace and Activity levels. You will be able to assign users to different Workspaces as well as individual activities, meaning users can work across teams and projects and no longer need to have higher site level access than they should to do so. The more controlled data access results in improved security.
