## User interface changes from v7
|
||||
AyaNova 7 had several different user interfaces: the main interface was a Windows desktop application and as optional add-on products we had several different web browser interfaces for varying levels of devices. Each web interface had a limited sub-set of the full features in the Windows application and required separate installation and configuration procedures.
|
||||
|
||||
AyaNova 8 has one "progressive" web application based interface only that adapts itself automatically to the device format. Any device on any platform with a modern web browser from a smart phone to a full sized desktop computer can use all features of AyaNova equally. This means you can use AyaNova on an iPhone, Android, Windows desktop, Mac, Linux etc.

In order to support the front end "client" devices using AyaNova, there is now a back end self contained [AyaNova server](ops-intro.md) that handles all requests and can be hosted on Linux, Windows, Mac either onsite or with a web hosting provider.

## Feature changes

## Existing feature changes
|
||||
One of our main goals with AyaNova 8 was to make AyaNova easier to use and add many new features and improvements based on feedback from our customers.
|
||||
In order to support this some major areas of AyaNova have been changed:
|
||||
|
||||
### Security groups -> Authorization Roles
|
||||
Security groups have been replaced by a **role** based authorization system.
|
||||
In v7 you would select a security group for a user to restrict their access to objects in AyaNova.
|
||||
In v8 a user is now assigned one or more Authorization Roles which controls their access. Roles are pre-defined and pertain to the type of user for example there are roles for Inventory, Accounting, Business administration, Technician, Subcontractor etc. Whichever roles you assign to a user give them access to those areas of AyaNova.
|
||||
|
||||
Importing Users from AyaNova 7 will automatically set imported Users to have no role in order to protect information security; the business administrator will need to set each user to the most appropriate new roles after import is completed. For more about importing see the [import guide](ops-import-v7.md).

||||
|
||||
For details see the [Authorization roles](ay-biz-admin-roles.md) guide for more information.
