In this new version of Hudu, our biggest new features are a revamped permissions system with impersonation capabilities, single expirations, and a cool new update for the password generator.
Want to allow a client to manage their own documentation? Impersonate a lower level user to make sure they only have access to what you want them to see? Use a more memorable password generator? Change what categories of documentation a particular user can see? Then, this update is for you 🙂
Full Release Notes
New Permissions System
Introduces ability to switch permission style to Allow List. Allow List allows you to add clients or users in to the Hudu account that can only see/access the companies that you allow them to access (instead of the inverse, the Deny List, where they see all companies by default, with optional restrictions)
Remove abilities from users in groups (ability to share, ability to access passwords, and more!)
New Bulk-Add Users to Groups
New Layout for Permissions
Change what asset layouts or categories a user can see/access
Impersonation Feature for Admins, so they can easily see what a user has access to, and what Hudu looks like for them.
Single Expirations
Send out alerts that apply to a single expiration, instead of a list (that’s still an option though!)
Additional Expiration Changes
Ability to specify a One-Time Expiration, or trigger Everyday (the previous default)
