Guidance Required on Project Creation Permissions in Newer Ignition 8.3

Ignition Early Access
1

In newer version of Ignition 8.3, there is no longer a separate permission for creating new projects, unlike previous Ignition versions.

The dedicated project creation permission was useful for restricting project creation and management activities while still allowing developers to access the Designer for development tasks.

We would like to understand the recommended approach in Ignition 8.3 to restrict the creation of new projects without restricting Designer access for developers.

If you have access to the Designer, you have the highest privileges available in Ignition, equivalent to someone with Gateway config write permission, which includes the ability to create a Project. We recently removed the setting because it never could further restrict what someone with Designer access can do under this coarse permission model. Ignition does not support a more fine grained access control model at this time.
