Admin Console usability
Cross-entity navigation and contextual filtering
The Admin Console now provides improved navigation between related configuration entities.
- Navigate directly to related entities such as applications, policies, hooks, and groups

- Hook management and execution were unstable
- MFA enrollment passcode messages were not properly translated
- Back-channel logout could be configured with invalid local addresses
- Biometric authenticator creation failed in My Account
- Admin UI was not scrollable on mobile devices
- Password lockout failed for accounts without passwords
- Identity verification dashboard widgets could break after policy changes
- Security headers interfered with Admin Console validation
- Disabling translations was not working
- Phone identifier could not be set as mandatory
- Bulk invitation exceeding the invitee count gave a wrong result
- Organization portal was handling manual verification improperly
- Organization portal would crash when attempting to change an accounts password
- Organization portal would not allow account creation
- Name filter on the Admin Console did not reset the search input after clicking clear
Important notes
This release includes updates to token handling and hook behavior. While most changes are backward compatible, some configurations may require review.
“Before ID token generation” hook changes
- A new
AdditionalTokenDatastructure simplifies claim handling. - Root-level access token claims are now supported.
Impact:
- No action is required by default (fully backward compatible).
- If adopting the new structure:
- Replace the previous class with
AdditionalTokenData - Use
access_token_claimsinstead ofaccess_token_ext - Wrap claims in
extif maintaining current behavior
- Replace the previous class with
Back-channel logout restriction
- Product instance internal addresses can no longer be used as back-channel logout endpoints.
Please review custom hooks and logout configurations before upgrading.
Deprecations
Attribute hook-based JavaScript execution
Attribute hook-based JavaScript execution is now deprecated. This change is part of ongoing improvements to platform security, maintainability, and future extensibility of attribute-related features.
This capability will remain available in the Seoul release and the following release, and will be fully removed in the Q4 release.
Developers using this feature should begin migrating away from attribute hook-based JavaScript execution.
