Pantheon release notes: Account management

Administrators of large workspaces will now be able to easily remove access for offboarded users at scale. When a member of your team changes jobs, or for whatever reason you need to remove a person from your sites, you can now do so faster

As you remove users from your workspace or site team, you will be prompted to remove access across all sites that a given user may be connected to, which can save multiple clicks and manual labor to ensure the right access levels are maintained.

To learn more about how this new offboarding process works, take a look at our documentation.

Helps Workspace Admins more effectively manage user access by providing the ability to offboard users from multiple sites in a single click.

For more information, see Pantheon’s documentation on Workspace Offboarding. Or join the #WordPress Slack Channel to connect with other Pantheon customers & super-users.

Enhancements to the Workspace dashboard allow admins greater visibility and control over user roles, access levels, and privileges. Now, admins can perform periodic audits of users and permissions by Site or Workspace, communicate development work to specific users by Site group, and quickly onboard and offboard users at the Workspace and Site level. To learn more about roles and permissions, refer to our documentation.

Previously, users with the Unprivileged role were not able to create sites using Custom Upstreams. Users with the Unprivileged role do not possess permissions to access the Workspace Dashboard and could not create sites using Custom Upstreams. Now, it's possible to create a site using a Custom Upstream from the Personal Workspace in the New Dashboard. Click Create New Site and then select Upstream From Workspace.

You can now customize the marketing communication you receive from Pantheon in the New Dashboard. From the New Dashboard, click the gravatar to access Personal Settings. Click Notifications and Manage Preferences under Emails from Pantheon, to update your email preferences.

Multidev is no longer a site-specific feature. It’s now enabled organization-wide for select account types. For more information, see Who has access to Multidev?

We’ve opened access to Custom Upstreams for all organizations on Pantheon. Read more about it on our blog, or give it a try.

We added two new features to help security conscious organizations work with our platform:

SAML Login: For organizations with SAML compatible single sign-on solutions, Pantheon allows authentication of users to the Dashboard via your own login system, giving you central administrative control over employee access to the platform.
