Add a New Plugin
If you're adding a brand new plugin that doesn't already exist within Permission Assist, use the following instructions to download, install, and verify the new plugin.
Step 1 - Download the new plugin
Your client success specialist will send you an email to let you know your new plugin is available. The link to download the new plugin will be provided within that email. Click on the link provided and save the plugin to folder that is easy to remember.
Step 2 - Install the plugin in Permission Assist
NOTE: During this process, Permission Assist will need to be restarted. Any user logged into Permission Assist at that time will be automatically logged out. Typically, this is process is quick and takes only a few minutes.
After downloading the plugin, install the plugin using these steps:
-
Log into Permission Assist as an Administrator.
-
Go to the System Configuration cogwheel in the top right corner of Permission Assist and select Software Updates.

Select the Plugins option. The list of plugins is displayed.
