Core 7.5.1 Release Notes

SSO Updates for Large User Libraries & Migrating Existing Accounts

May 4, 2026

This release delivers security hardening, Single Sign-On (SSO) improvements, and a more seamless admin experience.

MFA setting bypass resolved — Admins can no longer save Multi-Factor Authentication changes without completing authentication. Previously, changes saved automatically before the auth check was completed.
SSO admin re-authentication streamlined — Admins logged in via SSO are no longer prompted for redundant re-authentication when making account changes. Security is enforced through their SSO provider. This change enables Admin accounts to now be SSO-based.
SSO user profile fields protected — Fields populated by customers' identity provider (IDP) can no longer be overridden or accidentally altered through the platform UI.
Geolocation data updated — The underlying IP-to-country database has been refreshed, ensuring more accurate location tracking in the platform's action log.

Clearer SSO error messages — When there's a login issue with the identity provider, users now see a clear, descriptive error instead of a generic failure screen.
Password reset for SSO users improved — Attempting to reset a password for an SSO user now returns a clear, informative message instead of an error.
Deleted SSO users can re-register cleanly — If an admin removes an SSO user and they log back in, a fresh account is created without inheriting any data or roles from the deleted account. The new user account has no permissions by default.
SSO users no longer prompted for email verification — Users signing in via SSO for the first time are no longer shown an unnecessary email verification step.
Account conversion supported — Existing standard user accounts can now be migrated and converted to SSO accounts.
SSO ID field permissions tightened — Manually editing a user's SSO ID no longer inadvertently changes their account type from a standard account to an SSO account.

Improved diagnostic logging — Internal API logging has been enhanced to make troubleshooting SSO and user provisioning issues faster and more reliable.
Re-authentication logic standardized — The decision to prompt for re-authentication is now consistently driven by the backend, eliminating mismatches between what the UI showed and what the server required.
