Ticket Details
Overview of existing tags in Administration area
Audience: Partner
Description
Partners can now view the tags that are configured in the tag schemas for the meshProject and meshCustomer objects. We will soon introduce the possibility to create, edit and delete tags as well.
How to use
This functionality currently only works for Partner Admins. Navigate to the Administration Area and click 'Tags' below the 'Compliance' header. When you open the page, you will see the tags for each type of meshObject. You can click the arrow on the right of a given meshObject to view the tag information in more detail (e.g. restriction or description).
Improved alerting for chargeback statement generation
Audience: Operator
Component: kraken
Description
Added two new metrics indicating chargeback statements' total and failed count. Alert is also now available when statement generation process fails.
EUIDs for new users can be set from custom user properties
Audience: Partner, Operator
Component: web
Description
If a new user is invited (and thus created in meshStack) its euid can now be updated from a configurable value which is fetched from either Azure's AAD extension schema or Google Cloud Directories user schema. For more information on how to configure this feature please see our documentation.
Landing Zone Fees
Audience: User
Description
With this feature, you now have the possibility to charge a fee on the Landing Zone that is in use by a meshTenant. This is currently supported only for Azure, AWS and GCP platforms.
How to use
The fee needs to be configured as an entry in the product catalog. Since this configuration is done by meshcloud, please contact us if you would like to enable Landing Zone fees.
Create/edit policy without landingzone tag schema
Audience: Partner
Component: release-note
Description
Previously it was not possible to define policies when no tag schema for landing zone meshObjects was defined. Now the setting of policies is independent of the availability of tag schemas for meshObjects not targeted by the policy.
Only Partner Admins can create meshPolicies
Audience: Partner
Component: release-note
Description
Previously Partner Employees had access to create/edit meshPolicies. Now only Partner Admins are allowed to create/edit meshPolicies. Partner Employees are still able to view all existing meshPolicies in the organization.
Create new meshTenants via the API
Audience: Operator
Component: release-note
Description
The meshTenant localId (for example AWS account id or Azure subscription) is now optional via the meshObject import API. This means that a new tenant will be created within the specific platform if no localId was specified.
Prevent leaking of replication system remarks
Audience: User, Partner, Operator
Component: releasenotes
Description
System remarks that were included in the tenant information are not longer included in responses when navigating to the project dashboard screen. In result customer employees may not access them anymore. They are now only available to partner and customer admins.
Customer owner(s) in customer CSV export
Audience: Partner
Component: meshfed
Description
Two new columns, customerOwner and additionalCustomerOwner, are included in the meshCustomers CSV export. If there are no customer owner(s) on the meshCustomer, the columns will be empty. Moreover, customerContact column has the email address of the customer owner. If no customer owner is set, the customer admin will be there. In the end, customer employee will be set if no customer admin is set. Three additional fields are also added in TenantSpec so that those fields could be exported in chargeback statements' CSV export.
How to use
The CSV export can be executed in the Administration area. Navigate to 'Customers' and click 'Export' at the top-right.
