Overview

We have released new security enhancements to protect you and your data by ensuring that only active and authorized accounts can access your instance. Additionally, we have introduced dedicated Bolt Discovery permissions to give you more control over access to this feature.


Automatic Deactivation of Internal Users

This feature automatically deactivates user accounts that have been inactive for 90 days, requiring admin reactivation to ensure that only authorized users regain access.
​
​The first round of account deactivations will start within 24 hours of July 30, 2024.

Details

  • Automatic Deactivation: User accounts that have been inactive for 90 days will be automatically deactivated.

  • Admin Reactivation: Deactivated accounts will require an admin to re-activate them, ensuring that only authorized users regain access.

  • Security Improvement: This feature helps to prevent unauthorized access by reducing the number of active but unused accounts.

Benefit

This enhancement provides an additional layer of security by automatically managing inactive user accounts, ensuring that only active and necessary accounts have access to your system.


Dedicated Bolt Discovery Permissions

We have added two new permissions for the Bolt Discovery feature, allowing you to control access to both its settings and threads.

Details

  • Administer Bolt Discovery: Allows access to Bolt Discovery settings.

  • Access Bolt Discovery: Allows access to Bolt Discovery threads.

These permissions can be added to your custom permission groups for better access control.

Benefit

This update offers more granular control over who can manage and access Bolt Discovery, enhancing security and customization for your institution.
