Adding the authorization for '.history.of.related.changes' action to the role

Note: If you have already defined the authorization for the action .history.of.related.changes for the selected role, you can change its right in the 'List' tab.

Meaning of the set rights:

If a user (through the role) is set the right execute, the system shows the Show related changes menu item in the menu for a catalog of history records (either opened for an object type or for selected objects) (see also Viewing History), which enables the user to open the catalog with history records of related changes for one selected history record.

Note: Unless Audit is globally activated and the selected object type has the audit set, the Show history for object type menu item in the catalog of history records cannot be shown.

If a user (through the role) is set the right no execute, the system hides the Show related changes menu item in the menu for a catalog of history records.
