v4.1.0 ~ War Pig

:musical_note: War Pig :musical_note:

:heart: Thank you to all the Passbolt Developers for keeping our passwords safe :partying_face: :tada::heart: :

:fireworks: Version 4.1 of Passbolt introduces the long-awaited Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) feature. :fireworks:

RBAC provides admins with the ability to control the capabilities offered to users through the user interface (UI). As Passbolt evolves, subsequent releases will expand on this, eventually providing control over API capabilities.

On the performance side, while passbolt was able to handle thousands of passwords, sharing on large volumes was a challenge due to the end-to-end model. With this new version, users will be pleased to experience enhanced performance when sharing their passwords with others. More improvements are yet to come in future releases, so stay tuned.

Additionally, users will notice improvements in some areas: passwords are now easier to read, special characters and numbers are highlighted with contrasting colors, and multi-factor authentication is now able to remember the last method used.

Finally, this release also includes the latest security fixes (minor and info) identified during the March security audit by Cure53. As usual, the full report along with the mitigations will be fully disclosed on the website.

:heart: Passbolt thanks you for your continued support, and we hope you enjoy the enhanced features and improvements in this release. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to our great Community Forum if you have any questions or feedback. :heart:

Hello,
I am not sure if you are aware or where to report this, but if I click on the button Need help on the administration RBAC page, it leads to a Not found webpage, as it seems that the feature is not yet documented.

Btw, thank you for the RBAC feature, I am really looking towards its future updates extending the capabilities :slight_smile:
