Opportunities**
Enhanced User Training and Documentation
With the upcoming permission changes, there is an opportunity to enhance user training and create comprehensive documentation on how to manage solution components effectively. This can improve user experience and reduce support queries.
- next-steps: Develop training materials and conduct workshops for users on managing solution components. Create a knowledge base article that outlines the new permissions and their implications.

Streamlined Permission Management
The change to enforce WRITE permissions presents an opportunity to review and streamline permission management processes. By implementing role-based access controls, organizations can ensure that only the necessary users have WRITE permissions, enhancing security and compliance.
- next-steps: Conduct an audit of current permissions for the Solution entity, categorize users based on their needs, and implement role-based access controls accordingly.

Automated Monitoring and Alerts for Permission Changes
The enforcement of WRITE permissions can lead to unintended consequences if not managed properly. Implementing automated monitoring and alert systems for permission changes can help detect unauthorized access or modifications in real-time, enhancing security.
- next-steps: Evaluate and select monitoring tools that can track changes in permissions and alert relevant stakeholders. Set up alerts for unauthorized permission changes.
