06/04/2020, 5:21 PMWe are using a Custom Role for our extension's .ss files since our backend models need higher level of permissions to access the schema.
Every time we update an extension (version) and activate, we have to set the permissions again for all .ss files of that extension.
Is there a way to automate this? (ex: some kind of UE script maybe?)
(Using SC 2020.1 with custom extensions)

06/04/2020, 6:11 PMFun fact! This is why the SC commerce extensions do not use Elevated Permissions

06/04/2020, 6:13 PMThat's why for delivery services to end customers of exclusive customizations we mostly don't increment version numbers.
It's obviously different if you are developing a extension for the marketplace.

06/04/2020, 6:15 PMThe issue is, if we do not update the extension's version and try to update the extension's bundle in a client environment, it throws an error (something on the lines of "no new version found")
So we're forced to update the version of the extension.

06/04/2020, 6:17 PMbut again, this works if the extension is for one customer and it's not a scalable model for extensions used on multiple customers.

06/04/2020, 6:24 PMYup, exactly.

06/04/2020, 6:24 PMThanks for the heads up @PabloZ
Now I have a clearer understanding.
