Release Notes September 2024

After clicking on the New Tag Builder button, you can select what type of “entity” you want to tag, then select Static or Dynamic tags.

• Dynamic tags will automatically tag new records that match whenever they are created or updated

• Static tags will tag everything “right now” and not update based on future changes

After clicking Next, you can set your tag filters.

After clicking apply, you can see the list of entitlements that match your designated filter.

Once a tag is created, you can easily review all the entities associated with that tag.

Role Change Access Request - Self Service

Role Based Access Control (RBAC) is one of the best methods for improving access reviews and lifecycle management. However, long term maintenance of Roles can be difficult. The difficulty stems from ever-changing IT access requirements driven by new applications, projects, and company direction.

Clarity recognized this pain and heard your feedback. “The business needs to be able to request changes to a role.”

Our solution was to expand the request capabilities within the Self Service Portal.

Managers and leaders can now ask for roles to be Created, Expanded, or Deleted. Allowing these users to request changes means IT teams don’t need to wait for the “perfect” RBAC structure to be created.  

Here’s how it works:

Step 1: Make a Request

Step 2: Select the Role

Step 3: Select the Entitlements needed (this is just like our existing Access Request flow - so it should be familiar to current Clarity users.)

Step 4: Wait for the request to be approved!

If you are leveraging RBAC to do either of the below:

• Reduce the scope of your active UAR’s by removing birthright access

• Automate onboarding and off-boarding for your teams

This opens up a direct feedback loop from your business to ensure they have the right access when they need it, without yet another meeting!

UX Improvements

Improved Dashboard Styling and Layout

Improved Identity Title Bar Layout

Improved Application Title Bar Layout

Improved Integration Data Pipeline Stability

We’ve redesigned how data is pulled from downstream applications to significantly reduce the number of API calls and database updates performed during a sync.

• Impact: There are significantly fewer errors, fewer incomplete syncs, fewer sync timeouts, and overall much improved data pipeline stability.  Lower database load also has incremental application performance improvements while syncs are active.  
  
  

New and Improved Integrations

- Improved connector for Oracle Cloud Fusion ERP (Now supports UAR + LCM).

- Box Enterprise (Supports UAR + LCM)

Important Bugs Resolved:

• Azure RBAC was creating duplicate entitlements, the incorrect unique identifier issue was resolved, and the duplicates were removed

• Merging identities was not removing the “old” identity - this has now been resolved

• Improved report load times - as part of the data pipeline stability improvements, we expect report performance improvements.
