Security Enhancement
Released February 28th
Eptura Workplace has improved the security of our application by applying rate-limiting using Cloudfare against our new user sign up workflow which could be accessed by an individual with an active customer URL such as acme@iofficeconnect.com. Rate-limiting blocks users, bots, or applications that are over-using or abusing a web property and can stop certain kinds of bot attacks.
The Sign Up link for a new user account is only available if the Site Admin has enabled the ‘Enable New User Signup’ check box. Learn more in Global Preferences Admin.
Categories changed to Allocations Enhancement
Released February 8th
Space Planners can allocate persons and spaces to organizational units, cost centers, other other data sets so they can understand how the spaces are utilized or allocate costs to various areas of your business. The areas that have changed are:
