The following enhancements and changes have been made for all SaaS environments and may be further documented in the SaaS Self-Service (SSUI) 'User guide'. These improvements have been made available between the 2025.3 update and the 2025.4 update.
-
Security and governance improvements are now available through role-based access control for customers who use external authentication for user access. This enables customers to assign roles per user, ensuring users can access only the functionality relevant to their role.
-
Sandbox environments now offer the ability to create and restore a database backup. This enables faster resets to a baseline state, ideal for manual and automated testing and other scenarios requiring a quick environment refresh.
-
Customers can now validate whether active customizations or extensions are compatible with a new STEP version before updating. This proactive check prevents incompatible updates and provides guidance on required changes.
-
Updating to a new image within the same STEP version now includes an improved, easier-to-read delta change log. Unnecessary information has been removed, and a new component filter allows users to focus on relevant changes only.
-
The 'Configuration properties' tab continues to be improved and now includes configurations for the MongoDB Delivery Method and Scene7 Adapter. For information about a property, search for the property name within the STEP Online Help.
-
Platform changes and service disruption alerts from https://statushub.mdm.stibosystems.com are now displayed within the Self-Service UI. This integration ensures that users receive timely updates on critical alerts, changes, and outages directly in the UI.
