January 30, 2026 - 202601.2.0
- Assessments – Invited User Security Enhancements
-
OneTrust is implementing new permission controls for Invited Users and Project Respondents to align front-end access controls with back-end API behaviors. This update ensures that low-privilege users cannot access metadata or assessment content outside their assigned scope. A new permission will be available for customers who need to restore the broader access level previously granted to their Invited Users.
No action is required unless you want Invited Users to retain their previous access. If you want Invited Users to retain their previous access, you can assign the newly introduced Advanced assessment metadata permission manually to a custom copy of the Invited User role after the change goes live in OneTrust 202601.2.0. Those users with the Invited User role will then need to be reassigned to the custom invited user role with the new permission.
For more information, see Assessments – Invited User Security Enhancements, Invited Users FAQ, and Project Respondents FAQ. For a complete list of products with permission updates in this release, see Permissions Release Notes Catalog.
