  • Rename "Blacklist" and "Whitelist" - As part of our efforts toward better inclusion, we have taken the decision to fully embrace this in the way that we develop our product. This means that where we have previously named “Blacklist” and “Whitelist” features in our platform, we have respectively renamed to "Blocklist" and "Allowlist".

  • Encode Apps Access Restrictions - Gain greater control of which user groups can access Encode Apps with the introduction of access right restrictions. 

An important note on Encode Apps Access Restrictions!

After upgrading to Sept '21 release Citizen Developer will need to ensure that all access rights are updated according to customer requirements so that they can continue to access any required apps.
