These release notes document the most recent Restorepoint 5.6 version maintenance release, followed by previous maintenance release notes, sorted by release date.
Restorepoint Notices:
- Old user interface reports (Information > Reports > ) will be deprecated in upcoming releases. To prevent any data loss, you should migrate any old reports to the new reports (Information > Reports). For more information, contact ScienceLogic Support.
Most Recent Release: 20250331
- This release provides significant enhancements to Domains, allowing you to limit user access based on domain assignment. Domain support has been added in the release as follows:
- You can now add a Domain ID to device commands, command schedules, reports, report schedules, and device policies.
- You can now add multiple Domain IDs to Commands and Reports.
- When creating or editing a credential, agent, command, or policy, devices shown in the list are filtered based on the domain to which they belong.
- If a device command, command schedule, report, report schedule, or device policy is in the global domain, any global domain user with the correct permissions can view or edit it.
- Users assigned to the global domain with the appropriate permission within the global domain can create or change any element that belongs to more than one domain.
If a command is assigned to a command schedule, you cannot delete the command. Likewise, if a report is assigned to a report schedule, you cannot delete the report.
- Caveats:
- You cannot delete a label, command, policy, agent, or credential that is assigned to a device.
- You cannot change the domain of a label, command, policy, agent, or credential when it is assigned to a device which shares that domain.
- You cannot change the domain of a report when it is assigned to a report schedule which shares that domain.
- If a user does not have access to the same domain as a report, report schedule, command, command schedule, or policy, the form appears disabled.
- Updated permissions in this release are as follows:
- The following permissions were added to allow for interactions with schedules, such as pausing or postponing schedules, on the Schedules page:
- View All Schedules
- Modify All Schedules
- The following permissions replace View Schedule and Modify Schedule:
- View Backup Schedule
- Modify Backup Schedule
- The following permissions were updated for Schedule groups to allow you to assign one or more domains to a report schedule:
- View Device Report Schedule
- Modify Device Report Schedule
- The following permissions were added to control who can view or change Device Control commands:
- View Device Command
- Modify Device Command
- The Command Device permission is enforced only when controlling or sending a command to a device.
- The following permissions replace View Rules, Modify Rules, and Apply Rules:
- View Device Policy
- Modify Device Policy
- Apply Device Policy
- Renamed the Old Report permissions to Legacy Permissions to clarify the permissions interact with the Legacy Reports that reside in the old user interface.
- The following permissions were added to allow for interactions with schedules, such as pausing or postponing schedules, on the Schedules page:
- You can now filter Device Control > Schedule so command schedules are filtered based on the command's device type.
- Updated Report Schedules (Reports > Schedules) and Reports (Report > Reports) to be filtered by domain.
You can see schedules and reports only if you are a member of the same domain, unless you are a global domain user.
