Conductor HI

UCMS 4.28.3, UP 2.23

This release introduces significant enhancements to role management, identity verification, HSM support, and portal customization. These updates improve administrative control, strengthen security governance, and increase flexibility across the Axiad platform.

Major highlights include:

• Dynamic-role–based access token generation for API authentication

• Support for CloudHSM v5

• Unified Portal branding configuration for default table column visibility

• Comprehensive improvements aligned with the Role Management modernization initiative

Features

• PM-16894 — Dynamic Role Management with Fine-Grained Access Control

  The Axiad Conductor Role Management framework now supports fine-grained access control with dynamic, rule-based role assignment and context-aware scoping using attribute-driven logic. This enables organizations to automate role assignment, enforce consistent governance, and define sophisticated access boundaries.

  • Administrators can now define:

    • Role Mapping Rules — Determine which users receive a given role based on SCIM attributes, directory attributes, or group membership.

    • Scope Rules — Define which users an operator role grants access to manage.

    • Priority — Control evaluation order when multiple rules apply; the highest-priority matching rule is applied.

  • Key capabilities include:

    • Logical AND/OR operators for complex rule criteria

    • Automatic rule evaluation at login for accurate, real-time role and scope assignment

    • Manual assignments that override rule-based assignments

    • Updated permission model preventing self-privileged actions

    • Migration support for existing manual "bindings" to rules for Axiad Conductor SaaS

• PM-16789 — Cloud HSM V5 Support

  Starting with UCMS 4.28, Axiad Conductor supports CloudHSM v5.

  ⚠️ Important: CloudHSM v3 is no longer supported. Customers currently on CloudHSM v3 must upgrade to CloudHSM v5 before or alongside this release.

Enhancements

• PM-17425 — Default Country Fallback for Identity Verification

Configuration > Verification Server

A new Default Country field has been added to the Verification Server configuration. Administrators can now define an organization-wide fallback country using a 3-letter ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 country code (e.g., USA, GBR, DEU).

This eliminates identity verification failures for users who are missing a country attribute in their profile.

• PM-17220 — Branding-Based Table Column Visibility

  The Unified Portal now supports configuring default table column visibility through branding.json. Administrators can define which columns are shown or hidden by default for each table across the portal, enabling a tailored interface experience aligned with organizational preferences.

Bug Fixes

(No bug fixes included in this release.)

Known Limitations

• CloudHSM v3 is no longer supported as of this release. Ensure all environments are migrated to CloudHSM v5 prior to upgrading.

• Role mapping rules support logical AND/OR operators; parentheses are required for complex rule expressions.

• Role evaluation occurs at login; changes to rules take effect upon the user's next login session.

• Base attribute display names must be unique when configuring attributes in the UCMS User Source Configuration.
