Huge Accessibility Improvement to Our Design System 🙌
Hi everyone, it's been a while! The Quix Design System team has worked on making sure that our building blocks are accessible, and we are happy to announce that all our components now have accessibility upgrades. Some things we have been paying special attention to: Keyboard navigation Screen reader compatibility Color contrast & visible focus indicators Programmatically determinable roles & states We used Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 as our standard and referenced WAI Patterns for keyboard interactions. Since not all parts of the customer portal is using the Quix Design System, the improvements will only be noticeable in pages that utilize Quix components. But rest assured! We're working on auditing the portal and addressing accessibility issues. In the meantime, if you find any accessibility bugs or pages that need attention, please reach out to me, make a post in this channel, or leave a comment below. We are a small team and would appreciate any help to guide us to issues that require attention. p.s.

Intro to IAM - Users and Roles:
Users and Roles Administrators will need to assign roles to their users to perform tasks across the various Equinix Portals. If you'd prefer to watch along, here's a quick video demonstrating how to assign and remove roles from users in the IAM Portal: Navigate to the lefthand side of the screen to jump between various equinix portals in the menu. around the middle of the page under "Company Management", click on "Identity and Access Management" here we can manage users and roles Users Users represent individuals allowed to log in to Equinix portals. Assign users to organizations and projects and grant them access to select assets based on predefined or custom roles. Roles Roles Roles are sets of permissions that grant the ability for users to do things like order new digital services like Equinix Fabric Ports or Network Edge Devices, Create Virtual Connections, or edit existing services. Use the Equinix Customer Portal to manage user access to product assets that haven't been onboarded to Identity and Access Management. Note: You will see a list of users who have been assigned a role in the selected project/organization. However, you can search for users that have not been assigned any role in the selected context by searching for First Name/Last Name or username of the user. (you can also search for a user in a different organization within the same rootOrg by searching for the exact username of that user.) Hopefully this discussion post and the video primer helped you get a handle on assigning and removing roles from users, and how to think about how administrators might go about creating sets of custom roles. With all of the administrative stuff out of the way, in these next posts we'll take a look at how a new user would place their first digital services order.
