Alerts

Users with “Monitoring” Role permission set to “User” can now only edit and delete contacts they’ve created and can only set alert rules for Apps/Instances they can access (even when selecting all) 5.4.10

Amazon

Amazon storage pricing is now syncing instead of seeded
Jakarta (ap-southeast-3) and UAE (me-central-1) regions added for scoping Amazon AWS Clouds 5.4.10

Azure

Roles

Access to Workflows and Tasks can now be delegated by Role. From the Role detail page, Task and Workflow tabs can now be used to control access for each Role
Added a search bar to the Features tab of the User detail page and to the Features tab of the Role detail page. This makes it easy to search for a specific feature permission to determine a User or Role access
Added new Role permission Lifecycle: Environment Variables.This was split out from the former Provisioning: Instances permission to increase granularity and handles access to the Environments tab on the Instance detail page, as well as related API functionality
Added new Role permission Provisioning: Instances: Add. This was split out from the former Provisioning: Instances permission to increase granularity and handles access to the Add Instances wizard as well as the Add Instances API
Added new Role permission Provisioning: Instances: Delete. This was split out from the former Provisioning: Instances permission to increase granularity and handles access to the Instance delete actions in Morpheus UI and the delete Instances API

Improved experience of setting Role permissions by adding categories, permissions descriptions, and global permission toggles to the Role detail page
“Provisioning: State” role permission added to control access to the State tab on Terraform Instance detail pages. IMPORTANT: This permission is “None” by default for all users other than System Admins. Following upgrade, users which are not System Admins will no longer have access to the State tab. Role permissions will need to be updated for all users which need access to the State tab. 5.4.9
The existing permission Provisioning: Allow Remove From Control has been renamed Provisioning: Remove From Control
The existing permission Provisioning: Remote Console can now be set to “User” which gives console access only to workloads provisioned by the current user. The “Provisioned” permission setting is removed
Updated the functionality of individual object permission tabs for Roles (Groups, Clouds, Catalog Items, etc.). Set a default access for all objects of that type (Full or None) and then individually apply alternate rights to individual objects if needed
User Roles within Subtenants can now be edited from the Primary Tenant. Previously Primary Tenant Users needed to impersonate a Tenant User to edit these Role permissions

UI

Execute Tasks and Workflows actions from Instance and server detail pages are now typeahead fields due to the potentially large number of Tasks and Workflows in some environments
From the Clouds Tab of the Group Detail Page, users can only add and remove existing Clouds for the Group. Users can no longer integrate new Clouds or edit existing Clouds from this page

Usage

Calls to the billing API now includes a usages block in the return payload which includes resource information (CPU cores, memory, disk sizes, etc.) for the Instance/VMThis ensures users can access this information for accurate billing even in situations where the associated price types are resource-agnostic (such as “Everything” price types) 5.4.10

Users

The tabs on the User detail page (for Group Access, Instance Types, etc.) are all now paged to improve performance and searchability when lists are very long

vCloud Director

VMs for multi-node vCD Instances are now created within the same vApp on the vCD side. Previously, a separate vApp was created for each VM 5.4.9

Workflows

Added Price phase to Provisioning Workflows. This phase is invoked when the Workflow is tied to a Layout and allows Task logic to override any other pricing (such as on the Service Plan). See the Workflows section of Morpheus docs for a demonstration
