Insight Cloud

Release v0.23.0 - 9 Jan 2025

📰 RSS Feeds

Org Admins can now curate and group RSS Feeds for specific Apps. Users who are granted access to those Apps will automatically gain access to curated RSS Feeds, available directly within the App view. For this release, feed configuration is exclusive to Org Admins. Stay tuned for expanded RSS capabilities in future updates!

🔐 Sigma Granular Permission Integration

Insight Cloud now offers seamless mapping between its permissions system and Sigma’s. This deeper integration ensures that users only ever access the specific dashboards that correspond to the Insight Cloud apps they have purchased and been granted permission to view.

🤝 Single Sign-On (SSO) Enhancements

We are excited to announce a range of enhancements to our SSO capabilities. These updates include:

  • Password Users in SSO Orgs: Org Admins can now create password-based users in SSO-enabled orgs. This is especially useful when inviting users who aren't necessarily part of the same corporate entity.
  • Support for SAML Connections: Insight Cloud now supports the SAML protocol for configuring single sign-on (SSO) between your enterprise identity provider and Insight Cloud. This enhancement greatly expands the range of identity providers that can be integrated with Insight Cloud.
  • Multiple SSO Configurations per Org: Org Admins can now configure multiple SSO connections for their organization. This feature is especially useful for two use cases:
  • Your company consists of multiple entities or subsidiaries that maintain separate identity providers.
  • You want to invite your own customers to access your Insight Cloud instance using their identity provider.
  • SSO User Team Provisioning: For each SSO configuration in your org, you can designate an Insight Cloud team that users will be automatically added to. This feature is especially powerful when combined with the new multiple SSO configurations per org feature.
Improvements

Rename system roles from Engineer and Consumer to Builder and Explorer, respectively.

Use the Event Carousel to showcase economic, industry, and use-case specific events that resonate with your audience. With our Event Management Tools, you can create, edit, and remove events directly within Insight Cloud.

🌎 Seek Cloud Multi-Region Support

To ensure our clients get the best balance of performance and cost-efficiency, Seek recommends infrastructure regions that guarantee optimal system performance at a lower operational cost. However, if your business requires infrastructure in specific cloud regions, we now fully support this option at an additional cost. For businesses with security or compliance needs that require specific cloud regions, reach out to your Sales or Customer Success representatives.

🧮 Task Specific Compute Warehouses

Previously, a single Snowflake warehouse was used across all app runs and generated queries. Now, as an Insight Cloud Seek Admin, you have the flexibility to granularly specify which warehouse to use for different activities. This enhancement allows Seek Admins to tailor warehouse usage based on specific tasks, fine-tuning the balance between app performance and compute usage costs. Reminder, Seek Admins are Seek Employees, this is an internal to Seek capability, not externally facing for end-users.

Teams

Admins can now organize their users into teams. Then they can assign permissions to those teams, making it easier to manage app access for groups of users in bulk. This feature allows admins to easily grant department-appropriate apps to all members of a team.

See Teams for more information.

Teams + SSO

If you have SSO enabled, you can add groups from your IDP directly to a team in Insight Cloud. This allows you to manage permissions in Insight Cloud based on your existing active directory group structure.

API Token Management

SBT users now have the ability to manage their API tokens in Insight Cloud. This feature allows users to create, view, and delete API tokens. API tokens are used to authenticate with the Insight Cloud API and can be used to perform app building and publishing tasks.

For more information, see the User Settings documentation.

🧙‍♂️ Install Wizard Simplification

The app installation process has been simplified. The app installation wizard now only requires users to map the app's declared data sources to their database tables. Once the mappings are submitted, Insight Cloud will begin the app deployment process, but it will not trigger an initial run of the app. Users can now go into their variants to configure app parameters before running it the first time.

  • Organization capability toggle now updates without browser refresh
  • Logo flickering issue resolved
  • Scrollable popover for listing org app access
