MokoNtfy Release Notes — 01.06.00

MokoNtfy 01.06.00 — Stable

This release, live at ntfy.mokoconsulting.tech, is a major step up for access control. It adds full topic-level ACLs, role-based access control (RBAC) and protected topics, all manageable from the Site Administration area and from the server CLI. See Access Control & Roles for the full guide.

Added

• Custom roles (RBAC). Build named roles that bundle capabilities — both server-wide system capabilities and topic-scoped ones (e.g. authority over alerts-* only) — and assign them to users or groups to delegate a subset of admin power. Role management is owner-only.
• Groups. Bundle users together so a single topic-access grant (read, write or read-write) applies to every member. A user's own per-user grant always takes precedence over a group grant.
• Topic-centric access view. A new Site Administration › Topics page lists every topic with any grant or reservation and shows who can access each topic — the users, groups and the Everyone grant that match it, and the pattern that granted each.
• Protected topics. Mark a topic or wildcard pattern (e.g. team-*) as protected so it requires an explicit user or group grant; the Everyone grant and default access no longer reach it. Owners, admins and the reservation owner still retain access. Protecting a topic removes its exact Everyone grant (a broader wildcard is left in place with a warning).
• Effective-permission preview. An Access preview answers “what can user X do on topic Y?” — pick a user (or an anonymous visitor) and a topic and see read/write allowed or denied, resolved by the real authorization engine (roles, groups, protected topics, Everyone and default access).
• Saved logins, relabeled. The per-browser credential store for protected topics and servers is now clearly named Saved logins and is reachable by every signed-in user.
• CLI support. New server commands ntfy role, ntfy group and ntfy protect manage roles/capabilities, groups/membership/access, and the protected-topics registry for scripting and automation.
