Portal 1.4

Organisation Networks

A new Networks tab is now available on the organisation management page, where you can configure the deployment of organisation-wide networks.

Two settings are currently available (both enabled by default):

  • Make organisation networks available to new projects
    Allows project members to manually attach an organisation network to the Compute service instance of any new project within the Compute service view.

  • Automatically add new projects to organisation networks
    Automatically deploys the organisation network to each newly created project when the Compute service instance is activated.

This feature is still in preview. It will be improved in future releases and is likely to become available for existing projects as well.

Automatic Permission Assignment on Service Instance Activation

Newly activated Compute and Kubernetes service instances now automatically assign a default role to all existing project members. This reduces manual setup and ensures members have immediate access with permissions that cover most common use cases.

Public API (Beta)

A beta version of the Switch Cloud Portal API is now available to selected users via a feature flag. If you are interested, you can request access to join the testing group. The API provides programmatic access to key features, enabling automation of project setup, user onboarding, and organisation management.

You can create organisation-scoped API tokens under Profile > Switch Cloud Portal API Tokens, with a configurable validity of up to 90 days. An interactive Swagger UI is built in, documenting available endpoints, parameters, and expected responses.
