With a strong focus on user experience and functionality, this update aims to empower your team with more control, seamless integration, and improved security.

System-wide “Read-only” role
Project-related role “Read-only”
Project search field
Jira comments sync
TUI editor vulnerability fix
New thin installer
Nuclei parser fix

System-wide "Read-only" Apiary role

You can now assign users to the system with "Read-only" rights. This allows creating users as only project viewers. A user with this type of access cannot create projects or manage users. They can still have access to projects within the rights granted to them by the project owner.

Now you can be sure no one will make any unnecessary changes. Let’s move to another Read-only type of rights that actually differs from this one.

"Read-only" role for Apiary projects

We have also added the ability for project users to have "Read-only" rights. A user with this role cannot make any changes to the project. For example, they will be unable to change the vulnerabilities' status or leave comments.

If that wasn’t clear enough yet, no worries. This differs from the previous type of rights with the ability for users to create their own projects outside of the one they have “Read-only” rights.

Apiary Project search field

Yet, it’s an excellent feature for bigger organizations with many different projects. So, if you need quick access to your existing or previous projects, just type your project name in our search bar for more convenient navigation through the project list.

Jira comments synchronization

One of our coolest features is Jira integration with Hexway Apiary and also Jira reverse status synchronization. That’s why we continue to improve integration with Jira. Now you can synchronize ticket comments as well. Any comments left by developers in Jira will now be displayed in Apiary.

You can become more updated without even leaving Apiary workspace.

Vulnerability in the TUI editor – fixed

Now, heading to the security side. We’ve updated the component for markdown editor markup to the latest version. Yay!

New Installer

Good news to everyone! We have redesigned our installer. Now it's thin as a rail! Only 120Kb instead of 700Mb. However, an internet connection is required to work to download the rest of the bundle.

At the same time, we decided not to remove the option to use the standalone version of the installer.

Now you have more options: both are available for download here.
