Passbolt 5.8.0 introduces dynamic role management, allowing organizations to define additional roles that better align with internal policies, compliance requirements, and operational needs. This release also adds drag & drop user assignment to groups, simplifying day-to-day user and group management.
Warning: Ensure that all users have updated their browser extension to at least version 5.8 before assigning new roles. Otherwise, they will not be able to connect to Passbolt.
Dynamic role management
As was already the case with the default User role, Passbolt allows administrators to restrict what users can do by limiting access to specific capabilities. With version 5.8, this model is extended beyond the default Admin and User roles, making it possible to create additional roles and assign them to users for more granular control.
Dynamic roles also enable the delegation of administrative responsibilities. Rather than granting full administrative access, administrators can now assign selected capabilities to custom roles and distribute operational tasks across multiple users. Initial support covers group creation, as well as handling account recovery requests in Passbolt Pro.
