Anchor Version 2.7.0 Private Cloud Release Notes

Axcient is pleased to announce Anchor v2.7.0, our latest release of Anchor for Private Cloud, which includes important improvements and updates related to performance and user experience.

Note: With the release of Anchor v.2.7.0, the desktop client no longer supports outdated operating systems, like Windows Vista, Mavericks v.10.9, and Yosemite v.10.10.

Highlights

Team share permissions

Administrators can now assign permission roles to subscribers within a Team Share. Roles can be assigned at the Group level, or to individual user accounts. Please find more details about this feature here.

Windows ACL helps to enforce permission roles

Synced Tool uses Windows ACL to provide educational messages when a user attempts to perform changes which are not permitted. This functionality required Synced Tool to change the Windows ACL to keep aligned with the permissions provided by the selected Team Share permission role. 

Please find more information about Windows ACL changes in the following articles:

• Desktop Client 2.7.0.1366 for Windows and the Access Control List (ACL) 
• Updates in handling Windows ACL with File Server Enablement

In the case of File Server Enablement (FSE) mapping, content that is mapped using FSE is often also shared with a file server, and Windows ACLs are used to control the direct access of users to that content.

Supportability improvements

• A new scripting option allows administrators to configure the Auto Lock feature to always lock for the maximum duration, by default.
• A new scripting option allows administrators to turn on the Auto Collisions Resolution policy, by default.
• The Allow Users to Lock Files policy is now turned on by default for new organizations.
• System administrators in private cloud environments can now disable an organization through the API
