Registration window password requirements

When new users are registering for your community and their cursor is in the Password field, they can now review a list of the community’s password requirements. Based on your community’s configuration, these requirements may be any combination of the following:

• 8 or more characters
• No repeating characters
• Lower and uppercase letters
• At least one number
• No part of your username

The person registering for the community cannot create an account until their password fulfils all of the listed requirements. As they enter their desired password, the grey check marks beside each requirement turns green to indicate that they’ve met that requirement.

Schedule Analytics reports to be emailed to you

   • Weekly: The report contains data for the previous 7 days and will be available on the selected day of the week.
   • Monthly: The report contains data for a calendar month and will be available on the 1st day of every month.

Dev Tools API Apps

The Dev Tools area of the admin has a new section dedicated to generating app credentials for Aurora's GraphQL API. This section enables you to generate unique OAuth 2.0-compliant client secrets and IDs for any applications you are developing that will use the GraphQL API.

 

 

You can create as many or as few API apps as you need, enabling you to create granular access permissions for each individual application that can be edited or revoked at any time through this tool. You can also download an app's JSON credentials for easy integration into your application.

For additional control, use the OAuth client credentials auth roles to add additional context to the API user.

 

You can find out more about this new feature in our Developer Documentation.

API Tutorials

We have added few API tutorials in this release to enhance your developer experience.
