In the web client resource view, you can now remove and grant permissions to users on file server directories.
Web client: Create a new folder on file server resources
In the web client resource view, you can now create new folders.
Web client: New login and linking into the webclient
The web client login page includes a new design to match the look and feel of other SolarWinds products.
Key data from Access Rights Manager, such as ratings from the Risk Assessment Dashboard and current information about Active Directory, are configurable as widgets in the HCO dashboards. Through the new deep linking, you can directly display a linked scenario in ARM web client after you log in.
ARM version 2022.4 (or higher) is required for integration with HCO. Version 2023.2 (or higher) is required to use deep links.
See the SolarWinds Hybrid Cloud Observability 2022.4 Release Notes for more information.

Known issues
| Web client login |
|---|
| Issue: If the SAM account name contains a space, the login will not work with entering the user name in the form "user@domain". |
| Resolution/Work-around: Use the user name in the format "domain\user". |
| User-defined templates |
|---|
| Issue: When using user-defined templates, AccountSearchTextField does not work for manager assignment. |
| Resolution/Work-around: Use a standard input field or, if possible, a drop-down menu. |
| Updating FS Logga components on Windows file servers |
|---|
| Issue: In some cases, automatic or manual updating of FS-Logga components on Windows file servers may fail. |
| Resolution/Work-around: Start the setup on the Windows file server and select the Repair option. The repair function removes the installation and reinstalls the components. |
| Active Directory accounts not resolved |
|---|
| Issue: In some cases, new installations may experience Active Directory (AD) scanning issues when scanning through a collector or ARM server installed on a domain controller (DC). This can result in AD accounts not resolving correctly under these conditions. Existing installations are not affected. |
| Resolution/Work-around: Install the ARM server or collector service on a different server, not on DCs. |
