What’s Changed

Reply CMP’s v0.6.0 update introduces significant enhancements in user permissions management, cost optimization, financial controls, and overall platform usability.

πŸš€ New Features

  • Fine-grained RBAC System: Implemented a comprehensive role-based access control system allowing tenant administrators to assign specific roles such as Owner, Contributor, Reader, or more granular permissions like Provisioning Contributor, Discovery Reader, Cost Reader, and more. This feature provides precise control over user permissions through an intuitive interface in the tenant section.

  • Enhanced Start & Stop Functionality: Expanded resource control capabilities to manage all Azure resources that support start/stop operations, including Virtual Machines, VM Scale Sets, AKS clusters, Application Gateways, PostgreSQL, and MySQL services. Resources are started and stopped in a specific sequence to ensure graceful operations, helping organizations optimize cloud costs.

  • Budget Management: Introduced a new budget feature allowing users to set financial limits for resource groups with configurable threshold alerts (warning, medium, critical). When consumption approaches or exceeds these thresholds, automated email notifications are sent to designated recipients, providing better cost control and financial governance.

  • Self-service Connections: Users can now create cloud provider connections and invite team members to their tenants without administrator intervention, streamlining onboarding and collaboration processes.

🌟 Improvements
