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 - Add 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, add the plugin using these steps:

1. Log into Permission Assist as an Administrator.

2. Go to the System Configuration cogwheel in the top right corner of Permission Assist and select Installed Plugins.

3. Select the Add Plugin button in the upper right corner.

4. Select Choose File.

5. Browse to where you downloaded the plugin and then select the plugin.

6. Select Open.

7. Select Add. Permission Assist is restarted and the login page is displayed. The new plugin is now available within Permission Assist.
