# FOSSA December 2019 Product Release Notes

> December 2019 product release notes, highlighting user management enhancements and updates to attribution reports.

## User Management Enhancements

**Updated User Role: Team Admin**

In addition to the original Team Admin functionality, team admins can now delete projects in their team and manage users within their team. For more information on user roles please review [this documentation](https://docs.fossa.com/docs/role-based-access-control).

**New User Role: Global Viewer**

A global viewer has the ability to see all issues and projects, but cannot modify packages, resolve issues, upload new projects, or create JIRA tickets. For more information about available user roles please check out [these docs](https://docs.fossa.com/docs/role-based-access-control).

**New FOSSA CLI Flag: Teams**

Fossa's dependency analysis agent ([FOSSA CLI](https://github.com/fossas/fossa-cli/blob/master/docs/user-guide.md)) now has a team flag. This allows you to upload projects and assign them to a given team via the CLI.

**New User Permission: Disable Invites**

We've added the ability to prevent non-admins from inviting new team members to the platform. If you are interested in this functionality please contact [support@fossa.com](mailto:support@fossa.com).

## Attribution Reports

**Updated: Dependency Information in Reports**

We've updated the Dependency Information available in reports. For a detailed overview please review our documentation [here](https://docs.fossa.com/docs/generating-reports#section-step-3-select-the-open-source-package-information-to-include).

**Updated: New Plain Text Report Formatting**

We've updated the Plain Text Report to include a more descriptive full license list. When `Full License Lists` selected the report will include lists of licenses and the dependencies associated with the license.
