_Published 2025-04-04 by Melinda Fekete in Product._

Our latest release, Unleash 6.9, is here with deeper insight into user permissions and more flexibility when defining custom roles.

## 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](https://docs.getunleash.io/reference/rbac?utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-8PBB1OHpGqWKyGFEIbOTrCaxFzyc2uL87W9J5yJaeai-Nhjg7AU9X-Va_8LNaCSvvcbmQp_G06F8KXTwdKMF1VzYlj1KBuYYHf0Rz9eSbB1bp8sIA&_hsmi=355208448&utm_content=355208448&utm_source=hs_email#custom-root-roles) 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.

## Improved: IP addresses in Event Log

The [Event Log now records the IP address](https://docs.getunleash.io/reference/events#ip-address) of the user who performed each action.

## Improved: Projects no longer require an Owner

To give you full flexibility when it comes to customizing the project-level roles, we removed the requirement for projects to have an Owner.
