The Authorizations API has been updated to allow users with the can_manage_roles permission to explicitly set the user_id property to create an authorization token on behalf of another organization member, but only if that user is not a member of any other Fulcrum organizations.
August 2016
To support disabling the project and assignment fields on apps, 2 new attributes have been added to the forms endpoint. You will now see projects_enabled and assignment_enabled boolean attributes when retrieving form definitions. As their name implies, these control whether the features are enabled on the form.
There are 5 new top-level attributes on records to support new product features for capturing audit information.
created_duration- the number of seconds spent creating the recordupdated_duration- the number of seconds spent updating the recordedited_duration- the total cumulative seconds spent editing the record (creating + all updates)created_location- an object containing the location of where the record was created from. It has 4 attributes:latitudelongitudealtitudehorizontal_accuracy
updated_location- an object containing the location of where the record was updated from. It has 4 attributes:latitudelongitudealtitudehorizontal_accuracy
Note that all of these attributes are brand new and require iOS 2.12.0 and Android 2.19.0 for them to be populated.
