Validio 7.4 introduces new roles for more granular access controls and improvements to search and filtering.

New Roles & Access Controls

Validio 7.4 introduces permission-based Roles to provide granular control over user access across global and namespaced resources. To balance broad accessibility with tight security, roles are divided into two types:

System Roles: These are the standard, predefined roles--Admin, Editor, and Viewer. They provide broad access levels, ranging from full administrative control to read-only access, and cannot be modified.
Custom Roles: These allow you to define combinations of READ and WRITE permissions for individual resources, to meet specific, granular security requirements.

Custom roles enable you to follow the Principle of Least Privilege, ensuring users have only the minimum access required for their tasks. For example, while workspace settings typically require a Global Admin (with full write access across the platform), you can now create a "Settings Manager" custom role configured with WRITE permissions for Settings while remaining READ-only for all other resources.

To learn more about implementing RBAC and configuring permissions, see About Validio RBAC and Managing Roles in our product documentation.

Improvements to Search & Filtering on Sources

Validio 7.4 introduces powerful search and filtering enhancements to the Sources page, alongside a streamlined workflow for managing customized views.

Advanced Filter Logic: You can now filter for values that are Any of or None of a selected set. When selecting multiple values within a filter, the system automatically applies OR logic to broaden your results.
Intuitive Saved Views: Preserving your workspace is now faster. After applying your desired search queries, sorting, and filters, simply click + Save as View. Name your view, and set its visibility to keep it private or share with your organization.

📘
Saved Searches are now Saved Views: Starting with Validio 7.4, "Saved Searches" have been renamed to Saved Views. We are currently rolling out an updated UI to support this change. You may notice a different interface on the Sources page compared to the Validators and Incidents pages as we finalize the transition across the platform.

For more information, see Saving Searches in our product documentation.
