Changing the current Role name affects anywhere

[Paul125]

Hi, I have a role created years back and it's being used in many places, now I would like to change the role name, will it affect anywhere? Thanks.

You'll have to update any scripts that are referencing it like: if(user.hasRole('your_role_name')). Also, some filter conditions might define it with a string field rather than reference so they'll need to be changed.

I would advise you to keep it as it is unless there is a real business requirement to make the change.

Great! Thanks.

Yes agreed with David you can also check system properties if that assignment group is mentioned.
