What’s new for OMERO 5.4 for developers¶

Python BlitzGateway¶

New in 5.4.0 are Restricted Administrators. These are Admins that have a subset of Full Admin privileges.
Previously if conn.isAdmin() is true for the current user, they could perform all actions allowed for Full Admins.
Now, this will return True for Full Admins and Restricted Admins, but the user may not be allowed to perform some actions.
Use conn.isFullAdmin() to check if user is a Full Administrator.
To get the current user’s privileges, use conn.getCurrentAdminPrivileges()
This will return list e.g. ["Chgrp", "Chown", "ModifyGroup", "ModifyGroupMembership", Sudo", "DeleteFile"]
Can also check this for another user with conn.getAdminPrivileges(user_id)

For a full list of available privileges, use:

for p in conn.getEnumerationEntries('AdminPrivilege'):
    print p.getValue()

See Administrators with restricted privileges to know which privileges are required for which actions.

channel.isReverseIntensity(). Renamed to channel.isInverted().
image.setReverseIntensity(). Renamed to image.setChannelInverted().
image.setActiveChannels(reverseMaps) parameter renamed to invertMaps.
In conn.createOriginalFileFromFileObj() and conn.createOriginalFileFromLocalFile() the ns parameter is deprecated.
