To prevent token duplication in lower-level environments, we’re introducing a new portal property. When set to true in the portal-ext.properties file, this property will automatically clear the AC connection on startup. This ensures that if the production token is copied to a UAT environment during migration, it will be removed on startup—preventing data contamination, eliminating the need for manual disconnection, and preserving the integrity of the AC connection in production.

Highlights

1. Prevents data contamination between environments

2. Eliminates the need for manual disconnection

3. Preserves production data integrity

This feature introduces customizable permissions for the "Owner" role and other user roles within Publications, allowing administrators to define exactly who can publish, edit, invite users, or manage permissions at the publication level. A new "Permissions" section has been added to the "Enable Publication" settings, along with an "Edit Permissions" button that opens the Publication permissions modal. Admins can now revoke the "Publish on Production" permission for any user on a publication-by-publication basis. Once revoked, the change is reflected immediately, the user will no longer be able to publish content to production, and the revoked status is saved and visible in the publication permissions settings. Only users with the Admin role or the specific permission to manage publication roles can make these changes. This enhancement provides granular control over user capabilities within each publication, helping teams better manage their content workflows and avoid accidental publishing.
 

Key benefits:

• Safeguard Production Changes: Blocks users from publishing or modifying production content via Publications unless explicitly granted.

• Enhanced Role Governance: Admins now have complete oversight of publication-level permissions for all user roles, including Owners.

A new warning has been added to the Publications configuration screen to alert admins when "Sandbox Only" mode is enabled but publication Owners still have permission to publish. In this scenario, any user who creates a sandbox publication can still push changes to production, potentially bypassing the intended protection. The system now displays a warning message when this configuration is detected, guiding admins to review and adjust permissions for the Owner role accordingly.
 

Key benefits:

• Prevent accidental publishing by alerting admins when Owner permissions still allow publishing in Sandbox mode.

• Increase visibility into role-based permissions that may unintentionally allow production changes.
