What's new

Column-level query_range read ACLs on table columns indexed for search

Improve security for search with Zing's support for column-level query_range read ACLs on table columns that are indexed for search. When searching tables with legacy v3 format text indexes, Zing only displays search results if the current user's role has access to all of the table's indexed columns. For tables with v4 format text indexes, Zing only displays search matches in indexed columns accessible by the user's role. Use the new Text Search Query Range ACL Checker tool to verify that user roles have access to all indexed columns for your searchable tables.
