A new Operations role has been added to Stax to grant a level of access to Stax resources suitable for highly privileged users requiring a level of access in excess of User, but without the full functionality of the Admin. This role is accessible for both users and API tokens via the Stax console, API, and SDK.

For more information on the roles available within Stax, see About Identity and Access. To make use of this role when utilising single sign-on, you'll need to update your configuration to support it. Review the single sign-on configuration guidance for your identity provider here.

Please note, this status check is not refreshed immediately and can take up to four hours for the updated information to appear.
