Self-Serve Passwordless Login
Magic Links just got more flexible. Instead of having to generate a login link manually for each end user, account owners can now enable self-serve passwordless login at the app level, letting users request their own access link whenever they need it. Once turned on from the app's Features settings, end users will see an "Email me a login link" button right on their login screen — they simply enter their email, and a link arrives that logs them in automatically, no password required. It's entirely optional, so regular password login keeps working as before; this just gives users a faster, frictionless alternative when they want it.
Password recovery for end users
We’re introducing the Password Recovery option for end users to improve efficiency and comfort. Previously, if an end user lost access to their account, the only way to retrieve it was by contacting the admin of the Ubidots License. Now, they will be able to request it directly from in the app portal.

Allow your end customers to manage Ubidots organizations as well.
? Organization Management as an End User
A couple of months ago we announced the ability for end users to create and manage other end users on their own. Today, we have taken this a step further by allowing you to expose Organization Management to your customers.
Why would I need this? Let's see an example
Joe has been providing manufacturing clients in his region with monitoring solutions for their power plants. His customers love how they can access a branded portal, and use real-time dashboards to anticipate failures and ensure continuous power delivery in their factories.
One day, Joe is approached by a leading power plant manufacturer, "Electric Power Inc." (EP Inc.), who wants to embed his solution as a default feature in their power plants. This can catapult Joe's business from hundreds to thousands of connected power plants — and with it a 100x revenue increase! Instead of asking Electric Power Inc. to open an Ubidots account, Joe creates a new white-labeled App inside his existing Ubidots account, enables the Organization management feature, and charges a recurring fee for the entire solution (Hardware+Cloud).
Under this model, Joe continues to serve EP Inc. as his direct
customer, while also allowing EP to manage Organizations, Devices,
Dashboards, Events and End users for their end customers.
Organization management is now available to all Industrial and Scale plan customers. If you're on a different plan and would still like to try this out, please let us know.
👮🏻♂️ Token permissions using organizational API Roles
API Tokens aren't just used to send data from devices; they also serve as keys to create, read, edit or delete resources within your IoT Application. Use Organizational API Roles, to create custom permissions, such as providing read-only access to your data.
The new drawer, found under "My profile" --> "API Credentials", allows you to easily set permissions to each Organization's entity
👥Manage End Users as an End User
As your device fleet grows, you'll eventually find yourself (or someone on your team) dealing with several customer requests, such as provisioning new users every week or so. With the feature "Manage Users as an End User" we've added a new set of permissions so you can entrust this task to your customers, and get back to focusing on growing your IoT Business
