New: User roles and permissions overview

We’ve added a new Access overview page for each user, making it easier for administrators to see exactly what a user can do in Unleash and which roles grant those permissions. You can explore permissions at the root level or for specific environments and projects.

 

 

New: Root-level permissions for authentication and instance maintenance

We’ve introduced five new root-level permissions to give more granular control over features that were previously restricted to the Admin role. These permissions cover authentication settings, banners, maintenance mode, CORS management, and access logs.
