Today I am excited to announce version v3.8.0 - The Elephant in the Room. This version is packed with new features and bug fixes - We've cleared almost all of our feature requests lists and would like to thank our sponsors for some wonderful ideas!
This release has backend changes that allow us to gain easier flexibility in some of the ways we execute actions, but you're not looking for the backend fixes are you? You want to know what we've done to improve this release.
In the last two weeks we've focused on bringing you what you want. We've added 15 feature requests. Next to our GDAP migration wizard we now have the GDAP setup wizard too. No need to mess around adding the roles and waiting in the portal. You generate the request and after accepting, the rest just happens on it's own.
We've added the ability to copy all groups a user is in, that includes Teams, but also distribution groups, allowing you to easily copy a templated user to another. We've also solved a bunch of QoL things such as jumping to the offboarding wizard directly from a user, fixing the tenant selector, resolving an issue with our invite script.
But all of that pales in the awesome new features we're bringing you this time around. Let's talk about those new features.
API Access
Yup! you're reading that right. From now on you'll be able to use the CIPP-API directly in your own scripts. Now this is still in preview, but you can activate the API and have fun. Our API documentation can be found here: https://docs.cipp.app/api-documentation/setup-and-authentication
NCE Reporting and alerting
We've been in direct contact with MS to get some new APIs, and boy have they delivered. There are still some minor bugs in the API but most of them are in a state where we can use them! We've added a new alert that can send you an email when your licenses are reaching the end of their term, but that's not all. We've also upgraded our License reporting to show you what the estimated term is for a license, when it was created, when it will expire, and so much more information!
Fully automated updates
Don't want to manually update your CIPP anymore? We've setup Pull. Pull is a Github application that automatically updates your fork when required. Go to https://github.com/apps/pull to install the tool, select the repositories and you're done! automatic updates forever.
