👤 Member details panel
As we completely redesigned the Members page, you can, now, view and edit member specifications on the right-hand panel. Additionally, this menu item will not be displayed for users with pending invitations, providing a smoother user experience.

👥 Settings: Project page
We completely redesigned the Projects page. This new intuitive UI will help you easily understand the relationship between different objects, like which projects a specific team has access to or which different teams a user belongs to and with what roles (RBAC). No matter how complex your organization is, you’ll be able to browse the information in a consistent way.

🚿 New UI for project/team/members pages
As you build and grow your cloud architectures, environments, and projects, it’s important to structure the data and have an efficient and easy way to navigate the information. That’s why we rebuilt the project, teams, and members pages from scratch.

🐒 Profile Page Update
We completely redesigned the profile page, adding new functionalities, enhancing the UI, and providing useful information about the user’s activity.
You can now change your profile picture or remove it entirely. Most importantly, the new profile page displays more user information:
- Recent architectures and updates
- Team memberships and associated projects
- Comprehensive overview of the user's activity and roles.

Brainboard set for Enterprise Workload
Our goal is to make Brainboard the ideal solution for Enterprise workload and we are implementing more integrations and workflows in this direction.
Fine-grained RBAC at the design level
You can now proactively control the cloud resources that are available to your users by enabling / disabling what they can see and use from the leftbar.
Main use-cases:
- →You want to restrict access to a certain types of resources, like networking and security, and make sure that users only see and use the resources they need. No more.
- →You want your teams to only use Terraform modules and none of the vanilla resources as part of your standardization plan.
Brainboard API
To extend the use of Brainboard and integrate more with Enterprise workloads, we made our API available. This helps you orchestrate workflows and executions from an outside source, like ServiceNow or Jira.
💡 Usage example: Give your internal users a portal where they can just fill few information, and you use the API of Brainboard to clone their use-case from the template catalog into a specific project and environment, populate the variables and trigger the CI/CD pipelines for deployment.
Private self-hosted runner
You can now host Brainboard private runner within your infrastructure to make sure the execution happens in your environment and your sensitive information and secrets stay within your boundaries.
Service catalog — producer consumer
This feature allows you to capture all the infrastructure patterns to create an internal service catalog. This helps teams to not reinvent the wheel and consume cloud architectures that have been approved from security and cost perspective while allowing them to work autonomously.
Private registry support
This is our greatest, last but not least, integration. You can bring your private Terraform registry into Brainboard, it is now natively supported.
To make it even easier and most importantly convenient for your usage, you have different level of token to connect your registry. You can either use a personal token or group / organization one, so your users don’t worry about the integration and just use the approved modules you make available for them.

⏎ Advanced RBAC
At Brainboard, we like to rework existing features while improving them at the same time.
1. New User Interface (UI)
- Experience a sleek and intuitive design that enhances user interaction and efficiency when giving permissions, managing roles & inviting new members to collaborate.
2. Enhanced Role Management
- Streamlined process to manage roles and their associated permissions.
- Directly link permissions to your specific environment, architectures, and workflows for a tailored experience.
3. Granular Permission Control
- Dive deeper into permission settings with the ability to narrow down permissions at various levels:
- Organization Level: Control and delegate access across your entire organization.
- Architecture Level: Define permissions specific to different architectures within your setup.
- Project Level: Ensure the right people have the right access for individual projects.
Stay tuned for more updates and improvements!

🚓 2 Factor Authentication
We are thrilled to announce a new security feature! To further protect your account and data, Brainboard now allows you to enable or disable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) at your discretion.
2FA adds an extra layer of security to your account, ensuring that you're the only person who can access it, even if someone knows your password. It's a simple, effective way to prevent unauthorized access.
We strongly recommend enabling 2FA to keep your Brainboard account as secure as possible. After all, your peace of mind is our priority!
Stay safe and keep building amazing things with Brainboard! 🚀

➕ 💬 Microsoft Teams plugin
We just released the Microsoft Teams plugins, here how it works:

🏌🏻♂️ Connected people show many times
The bug being fixed in this statement pertains to the display of connected users in Brainboard, a cloud management solution. Specifically, the issue is that when the same person connects from different tabs, Brainboard was showing their avatar multiple times in the top bar. This can cause confusion for users, as it may not be immediately clear how many unique users are currently connected.
The development team has fixed this issue by implementing a system that detects when the same user connects from multiple tabs and only displays their avatar once in the top bar. This ensures that the number of connected users displayed in the top bar is accurate and reduces confusion for users.
In summary, the bug that was fixed is that when the same person connects from different tabs, Brainboard was showing their avatar multiple times in the top bar, which caused confusion for users.

➕ Invite users during onboarding
The bug fix being mentioned in this statement pertains to the onboarding process in Brainboard, a cloud management solution. The issue being addressed is that users were not able to invite their colleagues during the onboarding process.
This bug has been fixed and now users can invite their colleagues during the onboarding process on Brainboard. This means that users can now collaborate with their team members during the setup and configuration of their cloud architecture, which can increase the overall efficiency of the design process.
Collaboration allows multiple users to work on the same project simultaneously, which can save time and reduce the chances of errors. By having multiple team members working on the same architecture diagram, for example, one team member can work on the design while another team member can work on the configurations. This can lead to a faster and more efficient design process.
Additionally, collaboration also allows team members to share their knowledge and expertise, which can lead to better and more innovative solutions. By working together, team members can bounce ideas off of one another and provide constructive feedback, which can result in a more robust and effective architecture.
In summary, the bug fix allows users to invite their colleagues during the onboarding process in Brainboard, which enables them to collaborate with their team members during the setup and configuration of their cloud architecture. Collaboration can increase the overall efficiency of the design process by allowing multiple users to work on the same project simultaneously, sharing knowledge and expertise, and providing constructive feedback.
