Chapter 5. Changed features

Automation hub

Error codes are now changed from 403 to 401. Any API client usage relying on specific status code 403 versus 401 will have to update their logic. Standard UI usage will work as expected.

Event-Driven Ansible

The endpoints /extra_vars are now moved to a property within /activations.

Event-Driven Ansible

The endpoint /credentials was replaced with /eda-credentials. This is part of an expanded credentials capability for Event-Driven Ansible. For more information, see the chapter Setting up credentials for Event-Driven Ansible controller in the Event-Driven Ansible controller user guide.

Event-Driven Ansible

Event-Driven Ansible can no longer add, edit, or delete the platform gateway-managed resources. Creating, editing, or deleting organizations, teams, or users is available through platform gateway endpoints only. The platform gateway endpoints also enable you to edit organization or team memberships and configure external authentication.

API

Auditing of users has now changed. Users are now audited through the platform API, not through the controller API. This change applies to the Ansible Automation Platform in both cloud service and on-premise deployments.

Automation controller,
automation hub,
platform gateway, and
Event-Driven Ansible

User permission audits the sources of truth for the platform gateway. When an IdP (SSO) is used, then the IdP should be the source of truth for user permission audits. When the Ansible Automation Platform platform gateway is used without SSO, then the platform gateway should be the source of truth for user permissions, not the app-specific UIs or APIs.
