What roles is required to create/manage "Groups (Sharing)"?

Our organization just started using Lucid on the enterprise plan, and it appears that Groups has been split into “Organizational groups” and “Groups (Sharing)”.We want to create groups to easily share documents with, and which leads me to believe that “Group (Sharing)” is what we want to go with.What role is required to manage “Groups (Sharing)”?Is there a way to set up a group owner/manager like there appears to be for “Organiznational groups”?Is there any SCIM support for sharing groups?Any other general guidance on creating/managing “Groups (Sharing)”?

Why do I have "comment only" access to a Lucid document the owner shared with me?

I’m collaborating with someone else on a Lucid chart of which they are the Owner. Everything was working fine (I had read/write access to their document) until last week, when I accepted an invitation to merge my Lucid account with my organization’s Lucid account. Immediately I lost write access to the shared document and now have “comment only” access. The owner has re-shared the document with me but still no joy. What happened and how can I resolve this? Thanks!

Limited-access (Free) user rollout for Enterprise

Limited-access user rollouts are a great way to ensure easy access to the Lucid Suite for everyone at your organization while also helping reduce administrative work. What is a Limited Access rollout?A Limited-Access user is a free Lucid user that can have View and Comment access to documents. Since there is no additional cost for this user type, many organizations find it beneficial to grant this role to all members. Typically, this is done by automating the provisioning of these users utilizing SCIM from your IdP. What are the key benefits:No additional cost to add Limited-Access users to your Enterprise account Ease of user management; particularly if a dynamic “birthright” group is utilized Improved user experience as they go to access Lucid for the first time - if they already have a profile created for them, they don’t have to go through steps to gain initial access Better collaboration for existing active users - they can share documents with anyone at the organization more easi

AWS ELBv2 Target Groups in Lucidscale

The AWS supported resources list shows elbv2 target groups and load balancers as supported resources, but I am unable to get target groups to show as a resource in a lucid scale diagram. The ALB and EC2 instances show up, but not target groups or lines between instances and ALB such as is present for a classic ELB. I have verified target group, ALB, and Instances all contain the correct tag used for the original filter and the count of Target Groups in the Data Source indicates it is importing the target groups from AWS. Is there a document that shows what I am missing?

Incorrect document page display in inserted Lucid chart in Confluence

Hi all, I've inserted a Lucid chart document in my Confluence page.Next you can use the edit option to specify which Lucid document page you want displayed exactly.That works great. However: in the displayed Lucid chart in Confluence I see a tab with the Lucid document's next page from the one I actually set in the Advanced viewer options: But after the saving this, and next you hoover your mouse over the chart, it looks like:So I've set page 13 to be displayed and that happens, but the page tab (also?) displayed is page 14.Next if you click that page, that page is displayed, and there's no going back to page 13.So am I doing something wrong, or is it something in Confluence not ok? Or did I bump in to a bug here?Many thanks for your help.
