[New Features]

  • OpenBots Server
    • Server UI Improvements
      • Redesigned the icons for each available component in the sidebar.
      • Adjustments were made to the pagination of grids in the Server to optimize them significantly, such as the cost of being able to review a particular page number. Further improvements are planned in future releases.
    • Role Based Access Control (Security Module)
      • The Security Module has been added to the Server and allows for the assignment of users to created User Groups, and the assignment of specifically permissioned Roles.
      • Four default Roles are available in the Server, and additional Roles can be defined utilizing one of the default Roles as a base.
      • Permissions can be individually configured for the listing/editing/creation/deletion/export of each entity in the Server where these operations are available.
      • Features for which the user does not have access (either globally or in the current Area) will be disabled, and any attempt to perform these actions will result in a failure message.
    • Areas
      • Apps have been renamed to Areas for clarity purposes.
      • Each Area contains an isolated set of User Groups reflecting the assignable default roles.
    • Team Member Updates
      • Administrator users can now change a user’s password from the Team Member details page. All users can change their own password.
      • Machine accounts will no longer be displayed on the Team Members page.

        • The Organization minutes are depleted/nearly depleted.

      • 5 days before a rotation occurs, a field will become populated specifying the upcoming password and an integration event will trigger.
