Progress Update 31 Aug '23

Hi all! Here's what the team has been working on the past week:

New Updates

Channel Password Protection

Your community's privacy and security have always been one of our top priorities. We have been coming up with a new feature that allows community owners to password protect their channels. When turned on, members will have to enter the password whenever they want to access the channel. This provides an extra layer of exclusivity and security on top of the option to make channels private and limit access to specific users or roles. Your community, your rules!

Ignore X-Frame Options

Many community owners have found success using our "Embed iFrame & Embeds" feature to embed external websites within their channels. However, we're aware that certain websites have restrictions that limit this embedding capability. To address this, we're introducing the "Ignore X-Frame Options" feature, which lets you bypass these restrictions. We're enthusiastic about how this feature can open up exciting opportunities for your communities to share an even wider range of content.

As we delve into this feature, we understand there may be concerns about potential security compromises when bypassing these restrictions. To ensure a safe environment, if owners decide to enable the "Ignore X-Frame Options" feature, password protection becomes a requirement. This dual-layered approach guarantees that your community can embrace new possibilities without sacrificing security.
