Common Fate v2.3
Check out the changelog below for our major release in August 2024:
S3 Bucket Access
Our AWS Resource Access Integration is now generally available with S3 buckets being the first resource released.
Users can now request 4 levels of access from Reader to Owner to one or more S3 Buckets in an account. A Permission Set will be created dynamically for the user to assign access at the requested level.
Access Control
The resources page in the console is now restricted to users who are permitted to use the CF::Admin::Action::"Read" action.
Identity Syncing
This release adds identity syncing for OpsGenie and Datastax, which can now be viewed in the Directory page in the console.
Reliability
Access Requests with more than 5 grants are now supported and the provisioning time for AWS requests with multiple grants has been improved.
Granted Updates
In our ongoing commitment to enhancing Granted, we're excited to share the latest updates:
- Prevent a panic due to configFile being nil by @chrnorm in #717
- Access Request should not immediately extend after request has just been activated by @ckluy31 in #722
- Support multiple Common Fate profile Registries by @JoshuaWilkes in #724
- initial attempt at tcsh support by @bovine in #729
- keep in logic for backwards compatability in common fate timings by @meyerjrr in #720
- Fix potential panic in RDS instance selection by @chrnorm in #730
