  • Added the option to set a profile picture for a user in their 'My Profile' section. You can set a URL, and it will be shown in the top right corner of the application.

  • Changed the DataUsageAgreement model in the API: made the field info.purpose a required field. It was required in the UI, but not in the API. So the API is more aligned with the UI now.
  • Changed the Team model in the API: made the field type a required field. It was required in the UI, but not in the API. So the API is more aligned with the UI now.
  • Added the Definitions. It is a new central concept of the Data Mesh Manager, that helps in defining business concepts and reusable fields so data contracts can reference them.
  • Added the info.active field in the DataUsageAgreement model in the API. It's read-only, but you can now observe whether a data usage agreement is active or not by accessing a data usage agreement via the API.

  • Added a warning when requesting access for PII data in the request access form, and also show whether an output port has PII data in the usage agreement details view. The reason for this is that PII data requires special care in formulating the purpose for a usage agreement by a potential data consumer, and special care in deciding on approval by the data provider.
