Known issues and limitations
This release includes the following known limitations:
- Updating recovery email address - in an effort to increase security and audit trails on the systems, users are no longer allowed to change passwords or recovery email addresses for other users; a regular admin user can always change his recovery email address by accessing My Details section under the admin user interface; for email users, the recovery email address can be changed by our support team.
- Admin interface updated URL and page structure - to increase admin interface performance and loading times, we have updated the page and URL structure of an admin page. The changes include:
- Admin user interface V2 has been removed completely
- Admin URLs now start with /Admin and we've dropped the hash convention from the URL; old admin v3 URLs will be redirected to the new pages to preserve backwards compatibility (ex: /AdminConsole/#!/Admin/AdminPage.aspx will be redirected to /Admin/AdminPage.aspx)
- The iFrame used to display main admin content has been removed
- The custom menu items (config.json) are still loaded using hash URLs
- Open Admin (beta) applications URLs are loaded at /Admin/AppLoader.aspx?client_id={{CLIENTID}}
We hope you will enjoy this release and look forward to your feedback.
