- New: To improve the privacy compliant usage of the user activity stream -> implementation of a new function in the plugin settings: Anonymize activities If activated, a new permission is implemented in the HRM user type. This has also an effect on users with administration permission and guests (anonymous users). What this function does:
- Remove the author and the user filter in the activity log on the right-hand side of the page (project related, cross-project, ATOM feed)
- Restrict activity visibility in the user profile to own activities, only. Tip: Also useful for companies that want to avoid using the activity stream to monitor user performance/behavior.
