Happy March!

In this new version of Hudu, our biggest new features are a revamped permissions system with impersonation capabilities, single expirations, and a cool new update for the password generator.

Want to allow a client to manage their own documentation? Impersonate a lower level user to make sure they only have access to what you want them to see? Use a more memorable password generator? Change what categories of documentation a particular user can see? Then, this update is for you πŸ™‚

Full Release Notes

  • New Permissions System
    • Introduces ability to switch permission style to Allow List. Allow List allows you to add clients or users in to the Hudu account that can only see/access the companies that you allow them to access (instead of the inverse, the Deny List, where they see all companies by default, with optional restrictions)
    • Remove abilities from users in groups (ability to share, ability to access passwords, and more!)
    • New Bulk-Add Users to Groups
    • New Layout for Permissions
    • Change what asset layouts or categories a user can see/access
    • Impersonation Feature for Admins, so they can easily see what a user has access to, and what Hudu looks like for them.
  • Single Expirations
    • Send out alerts that apply to a single expiration, instead of a list (that’s still an option though!)
  • Additional Expiration Changes
    • Ability to specify a One-Time Expiration, or trigger Everyday (the previous default)
    • Ability to include archived objects in alerts
  • New Password Generator Option
    • Ability to do a word option for password generation – which combines random words with an option of delineation characters and number of words
  • New Invite Users page
    • Easily see what role and abilities a user will have
    • Bulk add users to a Hudu account
  • Expirations API
  • Be able to switch processes to one-column (or keep two-column layout)
  • Add Bash, TOML, Plain, JSON as options for code formatting in rich text editor
  • Add new autosave behavior and add additional alerts to make sure you are not losing data
  • Fix issue with {{ }} characters in articles causing rendering issues
  • OTP Reveal – Closes after first round to prevent additional logging
  • OTP Copy without revealing – but still generates logs like you viewed it
  • Share Links – Disable user’s dark mode
  • Bulk Manage Articles
  • Ability to customize new user emails that are sent out of Hudu for new users
  • Add Help Article for OneLogin SSO/SAML

  • Who can view page? Allows you to easily see which users have access to information in Hudu
  • Add Healthcheck to Docker container – self-hosted
