Greetings Capsuleers,
After today's Singularity update you may notice a new tab in the corporation interface called '--New Roles--'. This tab represents the next step in Team Five 0's ongoing corporation work, a reworking of the UI surrounding roles, titles and access controls!
The main features of this UI change are as follows:
- Roles and Station Service Permissions have been rolled into one window to reduce the number of management screens. The combined view is now called Permissions.
- Role and Title names will now be displayed vertically to save space (Allowing all roles to be displayed in a smaller window)
- Roles and Grantable roles are now handled by a single tristate checkbox (No Role, Role, Role + Grantable).
- Access controls have now been reduced to a one page matrix
- Adding a filter option to role management, making it easier to filter based on player name, roles etc.
As well as these UI changes we're also doing our best to fix various bugs surrounding this area of corp management, hopefully making the whole experience more stable and less frustrating.
It should be made clear straight away that this is purely a cosmetic change at this time, and while we believe that this will go some way towards improving the experience of corporation management, we're aware that this is by no means a final fix for roles and the interface surrounding them. In other words, we're not done here, so as always keep an eye out for more corp related things from Five 0 in the future!
Note that this new role UI will NOT be released in Scylla, but instead will be in a future release. We're bringing this to Singularity as soon as possible to be able to get as much public testing & feedback as possible.
To that effect we encourage you to get onto the test server, test out the new interface! As usual please report any bugs found using the ingame tool (F12 -> Report Bug), and leave any feedback you may have in this thread. As usual, I'll add/remove known issues from this post as they are found/fixed.
Known Issues
Assigning a role you have as grantable does not work.
Roles you cannot grant are not greyed out.
Features not yet implemented
Vertical Column Names
Filtering
Thanks for reading and happy testing,

Other known issues:
- You can only see the first 50 members in your corp (paging hasn't been implemented)
- Sorting by column headers doesn't work

Absent Sentry wrote:There should be horizontal scroll bars to make the window easier to work with and expose otherwise "hidden" columns. Whether the window's width is constrained by the client's resolution or simply shrunk to a smaller size, having columns that can't be manipulated or which go completely unnoticed is no good. Adding horizontal scroll bars would not only make it possible to manipulate those columns with smaller windows, but also indicate that more columns are there in the first place. It's possible to work around this by shrinking the columns themselves or expanding the window beyond the width of the screen by dragging it partially off screen, but neither is indicative of good usability and you have to know the columns exist in the first place to even try that.
when we've made the column headers vertical, we won't need a horizontal scrollbar because then the list will fit in min resolution screen

Currently all of the roles are granted through titels in my coporation. I spent a great deal of time working them out. I hope some sort of group or titel system is coming as well.
Right now i only see my directors having any rights in this new window, all other members show as not having any, even though they do.
So in my current corporations situation, this nice window/overview is quite usless, as it doesn't show me anything, as it seems to be unable to read out roles granted through titles. Thanks for testing this out and reporting this.
So as I understand it, what you are saying is that the new roles tab doesn't display roles given through titles?
As far as I can see, this has always been the case (the current role window also doesn't have the functionality you are suggesting). It could additionally lead to problems with where you can add or remove roles. e.g. Are they locked when provided through titles or can they be changed? This may be something for a later iteration but wont be changing now.

thank you all for your feedback. we've been improving things based on it (for example adding a hint to the name column displaying the whole name and adding the hint to all of the tabs on how the tristate checkboxes work) and more incoming!

Would you consider making icons for roles like these, and then the hints for them?
Not bad.
This idea has come up a few times in conversations on further development on the system. It's a little out of scope for now I think. If we iterate on corp role changes, I'd be willing to explore this way of ID-ing roles rather then using text.
Thanks for your feedback
