Sync users based on their access rights DATA CENTER
You can choose which users are synced with an application based on their access rights to it. This helps you limit the synced users to only those who can actually access the application, as syncing anyone else is redundant in most cases.
The options for access-based synchronization are available in the Directories & groups tab for each application. Learn more
Log in with your email address DATA CENTER
You can now log in to Crowd using your email address. This is to make things simpler for users who switch between different systems and are never sure whether they should use their login or email.
We've enabled the new option by default, but you can disable it in your Crowd settings. Also, make sure your user profile has a valid and unique email address configured. Learn more
Verify new email addresses
To improve security, we now send verification emails to users whenever they change their email address. We also send a confirmation message to their old address, just to keep them informed and make sure it's actually them making the change.
As part of this change, you will no longer be able to change email addresses of users through REST API. You can read more about it in the upgrade notes.
