CMC Updates – June 2024

• Non-admin users can now access the Enterprise Pools 2.0 application in read-only mode. To facilitate this access, assign a non-admin user the “All Resources” resource role and access to the EP 2.0 app. For more information about how non-admin user access to the EP 2.0 app works, see Non-admin user access to EP 2.0.
  
  
• The "Admin Role” resource role has been renamed to “All Resources”.
  
  
• The Inventory page of the Patch Planning application has been improved to include a comprehensive filter and new columns that show additional relevant information. With this improved user interface, you can see a more detailed view of your inventory. For information about the improvements, see View Patch Planning Information for Inventory.
  
  
• You can now set thresholds for EP 2.0 pool base core usage. You will be notified when the usage reaches the threshold that you set for the pool. For information about how to set the thresholds for the pool, see Pool Settings.
  
  
• A new Subscription tab has been added in the Inventory application to show detailed information about your sockets and CMC subscriptions. This tab displays multiple tables that provide information, such as the number of sockets each system has, the expiration date for purchased subscriptions, and a summary of the number of sockets that are connected to the portal. For details about this tab, see Subscription.
  
  
• Improvements have been made to make the CMC applications more scalable. With CMC v1.21.0, 96 systems are supported for all CMC applications. 96 systems are also supported in a single EP 2.0 pool. For the more information, see Minimum required system firmware level. 
  
  
• New public APIs are added to create new tags and assign them to resources. For details about the new and updated public APIs, see the Endpoints for tags section in CMC API.
