    Version history

    Version 1.10.0 - June 2026
    Fixed: Manage access through predefined query access controls for all Cloud Services Catalog tables
    Version 1.9.1 - December 2025
    • New: Introduced granular, feature-specific admin roles to replace the broad 'admin' role, significantly enhancing security by minimizing excess access. These new roles are seamlessly integrated into the standard administrative experience.
    • Changed: Enabled end-to-end support for PowerShell operations across MID Servers and Windows remote machines. The system now automatically detects and selects the most appropriate PowerShell version, defaulting to PowerShell 7 where available, to ensure more consistent and reliable execution of scripts.
    • Fixed: Implemented Read-Only Field Remediation by introducing a new ChoiceList, 'read_only_option,' to replace the previous 'read_only' field (which was prone to unauthorized client-side updates). This change prevents client-side manipulation of read-only fields and significantly mitigates security risks across all applications.
