Introducing a refreshed dashboard
With a constant effort to add new features to the dashboard and enhance your experience, we have introduced a new Dashboard for the Druva Cloud Platform that magnifies visibility across Druva products and services.
Druva Cloud Platform Update on Jan 16, 2020
Role-Based Access to API Credentials
As a Druva Cloud administrator, you can now restrict the information received in an API response based on the role of the administrator accessing the Druva APIs. You can assign access at the time of generating the API credentials.
Go ahead and check the feature to ensure Druva APIs are utilized more securely and effectively within your organization.
For more information, see Apply Authorization Restrictions.
Druva Cloud Platform Update on Dec 05, 2019
Apply network restrictions to API credentials
Secure the usage of API credentials (and access to your data via APIs) using the new 'Network Restriction' feature.
You now have an option to specify the range of trusted network IPs over which API calls can be made to access data from Druva Cloud.
Relax idle session timeout duration
For security reasons, by default, the administrators are automatically logged out of their sessions on the Druva product consoles if there is no activity for 30 minutes.
However, if you want to avoid undesired inactive session terminations and facilitate administrators with the required operational ease, you now have an option to extend the idle session duration up to 6 hours.
Custom entity ID for SSO
Configure multiple SAML enabled accounts for your organization with separate SAML identities through the ‘Custom Entity ID’ feature.
The custom entity ID feature allows you to configure each SAML enabled account with a unique entity ID. Thus providing centralized control over user authentication to each of your SSO accounts.
Druva Cloud Platform Update on Nov 21, 2019
Configuring Identity Provider (IdP) to enable Single Sign-on (SSO) for your Druva account has just become faster and even simpler.
Thanks to the Embedded Okta Cloud Connect (OCC) integration with the Druva Cloud Platform Console that provides Okta Sign-up absolutely free, forever, and for unlimited users. Yes, you heard it correct!
So the next time you have SSO on your mind, you are just a few simple steps away to configure IdP and enable SSO for your account.
To learn more, refer SSO configuration workflow.

Which is why to communicate the effective use of the search functionality and deliver better value, we have renamed Enterprise Search to Federated Search.
