Version 2025.5

  • πŸ“ Change
    Two new permissions have been added to the SecureMailMerge app for admin approval: Contacts.Read and Contacts.Read.Shared.
  • πŸ“‹ Note
    Previously these permissions were granted by the users directly as they do not require admin consent, but to enable organisations that have user consent completely disabled we have added these to the app permissions that the administrator must grant. This does not change any of SecureMailMerges capabilities as outlined on our permissions help page, just the point in time when they are granted. Previously: the admin granted permissions that only the administrator could grant and the user granted the rest. Now: admin grants all permissions required to run SecureMailMerge. Read more
