SmartBear Administration Release Notes - September 2026
This release includes new features and improvements to enhance your SmartBear ID, Admin, License Management, Organization, and Subscription experience.
Features
The following are the new features for the current release.
Modular Subscription Plan Enhancements
Depending on your plan, you may see an option for an Editor or Viewer Seat Type. The Seat Type determines what roles and permissions to grant a user editing access in the appropriate products. Assign Editor Seat Types and select specific Swagger products for editing access. All Swagger products receive Viewer access by default, and when you designate an Editor seat for a product, all other Swagger products automatically receive only Viewer access.
New Enhancements
The following are the new enhancements for the current release:
Improved checkout experience with regional currency and billing routing confirmation. You can now confirm your country before you reach the pricing page, ensuring the page displays the correct currency and routes you to the appropriate regional billing entity. You cannot change the selected country during the session. The confirmed country is locked for the session and cannot be changed.
Non-admin users in SLM on-prem can now view session details, including the username and machine or host name, when Access for Everyone mode is enabled. A new setting in the admin panel lets administrators separately control whether non-admin users can view session user details or disconnect sessions. See, Release Notes for On-Premise License Server for more information.
Purchased add-ons are now visible on the Subscription tab for direct sales accounts, giving you a complete view of your subscription plan and active add-ons in one location.
You can now configure multiple identity provider connections for Portal External users. When multiple connections are active, connection details are managed through SmartBear Support to ensure security and consistency.
Invitations now display their send status, and you can resend them directly from the user management interface without repeating the full invite process.
Enhanced multi-factor authentication (MFA) streamlines the process by automatically taking you to your profile after verification, providing a seamless login experience.
The Software License Management interface now includes Content Security Policy (CSP) headers.
Bug Fixes
The following are the bug fixes for the current release:
Fixed button state display when switching editors with unavailable seats, allowing proper subscription assignment and unassignment actions.
Fixed an On-Premise License Server API issue leading to inaccurate license consumption reporting. Usage data now matches the information in License Manager UI.
Fixed an issue of duplicate product branding on the "Complete your profile" page during trial signup.
Fixed an issue where the Access Key and Client Credentials options did not work in SLM On-Premise when Access for Everyone was enabled.
Invite users option is now disabled in the UI when Access for Everyone authentication is active, eliminating confusing permission errors.
Fixed an issue where login did not redirect you to your destination page automatically.
Fixed an issue where SAML connections did not populate the email attribute for Portal External users.
Fixed an issue that allowed you to create multiple active subscriptions for the same organization using browser navigation.
Fixed template string interpolation in system emails to show correct URLs and organization identifiers.
Enhanced error handling when inviting users with case-variant duplicate email addresses.
