  • Previously the "Staff" user type provided team members the ability to manage donors and donations however this user type has access to all campaigns. And so the new "Campaign Owner" user type gives you the ability to limit the campaigns that a team member can access.

• GEN-703 - "Updates to user experience with updating Credit Card details"   
  • This process has been improved, and now only the expiry date and CVC are requested, with other details retained (though still encrypted).
  • In addition to this, we enhanced the CVC input validation for AMEX cards which have 4 digits (previously we were checking 3 digits as per standard for other card types).
  • In addition to this, we've enhanced the Credit Card Number input validation which notifies users in real time that they have made a data entry error.
