Resource Set deletion now available

You can now delete a custom Resource Set: Resource Sets are organizational containers that group Access Policy components together, enabling you to manage configurations across different environments, regions, or use cases.Learn more when you no longer need it. Deletion is a cascading, all-or-nothing operation: Aembit removes the Resource Set and every entity it contains in a single action that either completes fully or rolls back.

What’s new:

  • Cascading deletion: Deleting a Resource Set also deletes everything it contains, including Access Policies, Client and Server Workloads, Trust Providers, Credential Providers, Access Conditions, and Standalone CAs, leaving no orphaned data behind.
  • Safeguards against accidental loss: Deletion requires Write access to the Resource Set or an administrator role, and Aembit asks you to confirm the action in a dialog that lists what it removes. You can’t delete the Default Resource Set.
  • Audit coverage: Aembit records an audit entry for each deleted entity, plus one for the Resource Set deletion itself, so the operation stays traceable through Audit Logs and Log Streams.
  • Terraform lifecycle management: Manage the same lifecycle as code with the aembit_resource_set resource. Destroying an aembit_resource_set performs the identical cascading delete, and the resource_set_id argument assigns or filters entities by Resource Set.

For the full workflow and its effects, see Delete a Resource Set. For managing Resource Sets as code, see Scaling Aembit with Terraform.

Resource Sets now available

Many organizations have certain security requirements that specify which resources should be managed by a group. To address these security needs, Aembit has released a new Resource Sets feature that enables you to determine which groups will have access to various resources.

You may find it necessary to segment management responsibilities for certain entities and resources in your Aembit environment between different individuals and groups for security reasons. To accommodate this requirement, Aembit has released the Resource Sets feature.

Resource Sets enable you to group entities and resources (e.g. Credential Providers, Trust Providers, Identity Providers, etc.) into a single collection and assign specific users to manage these resources.

For more detailed technical information on how to use create and manage Resource Sets, please refer to the Resource Sets technical documentation.

SAML SSO authentication now available for administrators

Aembit now supports SAML/SSO authentication for administrators who wish to simplify the Aembit Tenant login process for their users. Instead of requiring a user to enter their username/password credentials every time a user tries to access the Aembit Tenant, users will now be able to use a 3rd party SAML SSO Provider (e.g. Google, Okta, Microsoft Entrata) to log into the tenant.

For more information on how to configure Identity Providers using SAML, please see the Configuring Identity Providers technical documentation.
