Release Notes - 22.05.27

The Nebula 22.05.27 release contains the following enhancements:

• Introduced object-level security (OLS) to provide more granular access controls for the Nebula User Management system.
  • System Administrators can control object permissions at the Group-level for all Groups assigned to a project (Repository and/or Matter).
  • Non-Admin users with the necessary OLS permissions can control object permissions at the Group-level for their own Firm, and at the Firm-level for other Firms (external Groups are concealed from non-Admin users).
