Security Assist showing (Prior version) with Data Assist 2

I have recently upgraded from Data Assist v1 to v2 and I am slowly migrating all of the old recordsets and server behaviours so they work with PHP 7. However, do I need to do anything to the Security Assist pages? I originally created all of the login pages with Data Assist v1 and I notice that on some of the pages some of the Restrict Access to Page shows as (prior version). When I double click to open it and then click save the code does not change but the following include changes from:

<?php require_once('../webassist/security_assist/helper_php.php'); ?>
to:
<?php require_once( "../webassist/security_assist/helper_php.php" ); ?>

The (prior version) then disappears.

I can see all it has done is changed the quotation marks and added a space. Is this all ok or is there a difference between Security Assist in DataAssist v1 to v2 i.e. do I need to rebuild all of the Security Assist pages to complete the migration?

You can ignore this. The only difference is the way the quotations are written, so it is a false error.

Thanks for letting me know.
I realise that to complete the migration I need to recreate the login page with SA in DA2.

I have now created the page and the login works but do I need to do anything with the Access Pages/Rules/Groups manager? I have previously already built teared access levels with the groups and secured pages but I have noticed in the Access Rules Manager that there is now a checkbox for Allow "based on MySQLi login". Is this for creating the first level to authorise access or do I need to do anything with the groups? Currently the first level access is:

<?php
if (!WA_Auth_RulePasses("Logged in to ourbigday_users")){
WA_Auth_RestrictAccess("$WAGLOBAL_Secure_Root_SignIn_URL");
}
?>

Then I have separate pages secured for Sales or Admin etc as follows:

<?php
if (!WA_Auth_RulePasses("Administrator")){
WA_Auth_RestrictAccess($WAGLOBAL_Secure_Root_SignIn_URL);
}
?>

Or is the initial access level the only one needs to be changed? If so, should I created a new one from scratch?
Sorry, I am a bit confused how the new MySQLi login works with the Groups and Rules and would be helpful to know before making any significant changes.

If you are saving the same session variables with the new login, then you don't have to update the old rules.
