The world has ended, and started again this morning.

I love writing release notes, especially when using a cocktail name as impactful as this, but that's just what this release is; impactful. It's one of those releases that changes the way we all work, that allows for new possibilities and expansions of who works with CIPP. Also I'm a really big nerd so Hemmingway quotes are my jam. Don't tell anyone about that nerd part. I want them to figure it out on their own.

Let's get started on the myriad of upgrades we've made. This is version 8.0 so there must be a lot right? Well, I don't think we've ever had as many contributions as in the last 3 weeks so lets get to it.

In the words of Jeremy Clarkson: SPEEEEDDDDDD

We've added a new method of caching data, nothing is stored, but refreshing your browser should allow you to resume exactly where you left off, without having to wait. This immense improves the feeling of speed for the application. Combined with our 30% performance boost for hosted clients on Linux this should be a considerable improvement for anyone. We sure as hell love it.

A brand new way to onboard tenants, even without GDAP.

You've read that right. We've revised our onboarding wizard. How? Well we've started with improving the usability, but while we did that our core focus was giving users the ability to easily add new tenants outside of scope of their M365 partnerships. This means onboarding new tenants to CIPP has become so much simpler. Not a Microsoft Partner? No problem. Not even an MSP? CIPP is available to you too now. We already had several non-MSP clients like Disney, but now we have full support for adding any tenant that you'd like.

Our setup wizard added the ability to immediately download several of our baselines, like the CyberDrain baseline, JoeyV's conditional access baselines, or the Open Intune Baseline.

A quick peek? Of course. Here you go.

No more invites?! That's right. No more need. Just add users to an M365 group and they can use CIPP

Another cool new feature that we added is the ability to use M365 groups as the source for which role a user should get. We already had custom roles, but you always had to invite users to CIPP to be able to use CIPP, now you can add a Entra group to a specific role and everyone in that group can immediately use CIPP, allowing you to easily onboard new admins to CIPP.

Oh, and you can RBAC these roles anyway you'd like, allowing you to create roles with access to everything, or even nothing.

Templating deployed App Registrations

QoL? Hell yeah, we've updated the way you can deploy app registrations to other tenants. This means you can now create a template of any application registration or enterprise app and deploy that template directly to your clients. That allows you to deploy something like SSO in seconds, instead of hours.

New Standards? We got you boo.

While outdated engineers are still recommending you disable Basic Authentication for POP3 and IMAP, or enable Mailbox Auditing, we actually listen to Microsoft and improve our standards on that. Expansion expansion and expansion. Our contributors looked at new things to deploy and improve and we got many;

  • We added the ability to deploy enterprise apps via templates
  • We added anti-phishing settings to standards
  • We've added quarantine policies to our standards and deployment pages
  • We've improved the approval for oauth apps to update when new apps are added.
  • We've updated phishing policy management in standards

There's more improvements, but the best way to check it out is https://standards.cipp.app - A website that dynamically updates based on what standards we make available.

Other notable improvements.

  • We've updated the privileged we use for the application to not require excessive permissions.
  • We've updated the mailbox report API to return more information
  • We've added the option in notifications to send a test PSA alert to see how tickets look in your PSA
  • We've updated the first setup wizard to allow immediate notification tests during the wizard.
  • We've included custom domains by default for phishing policies, and added defaults.
  • We've fixed an issue with duplicate alerts happening in some cases.
  • We've added the ability to exclude groups from standards if a group was included.
  • we've added the ability to remove groups from the edit user page directly.
  • we've fixed a filter for the 90 day guest report.
  • we've updated all URLs to the new Microsoft.cloud URLs.
  • we've added capabilities to editing a users calender.
  • and so much more....
