  • FWD-30080 Limited Read-Only role
    In this release, we are introducing a new pre-existing user role: Limited Read-Only. Forward Enterprise collects configuration and state files from network devices. Network device configurations contain information at various levels of sensitivity and confidentiality. Our users have expressed the need to expand the usage of Forward within their teams while restricting some users from accessing devices configuration and state files, where they could have access to this sensitive data. The newly introduced Limited Read-only role allows for restricted Read-only access without the ability to see nor download device configuration and state files. This new role also hides any application that could expose those sensitive data (e.g. NQE). To learn more about this new role, visit the RBAC documentation.

  • FWD-30385 Let users with read-only network access view the Sources page
    This enhancement allows Network Operator and Read-only users to access the Sources page without the ability to make any edits, run connectivity tests, or see credentials and jump server details. The goal with this enhancement is to allow these users to have minimal access to the Sources page while possibly still being able to report connectivity or collection issues to higher privileged users that could take action.
