📣 10.3 Release
Visual enhancements for Playlists, deeper admin permissions for managing content and users, and deeper integration with Mircosoft Teams
📣 Visual enhancements to Playlists
We’ve updated how progress against Playlists and Content Assets are displayed in your Hub.
📣 Target folder setting
When adding new content assets to a Playlist in the Hub (front-end), admins and Playlist owners can now determine the folder in which the asset is housed and set a default folder location for future uploads.
📣 Removing users from Teams
When deleting a team en masse, we now allow it to be deleted even if users are assigned, allowing you to rapidly remove unwanted Teams from your Hub.
📣 Deeper integration with Microsoft Teams
For customers with MS Teams integration, we now deliver all Nudges and platform invitations from 5app to Teams. More info is available in our user guides here.

📣 SCIM support
We've added SCIM as another method of syncing user data and access with an identity provider.
📣 SCIM is now available to all customers
SCIM (System for Cross-domain Identity Management) is the best system for managing members' identities and subscriptions. It is a standard supported by many identity providers, such as Microsoft and Okta. It provides a similar function to the 5app User Importer while being easier to set up with existing cloud services (no code), more automated, and operating closer to real-time.
