AI Governance - January 30, 2026 - 202601.2.0

Fixed

  • Enhancements have been made to improve performance when processing complex workflow and routing rule configurations for AI systems, Models, and Projects. Validation to flag archived or deleted workflows and data, such as attributes, response options, organizations, etc., is now only applied ahead of time when a configuration contains 20 rules or fewer. When more than 20 rules are present, validation will be completed only when the rule details are expanded.

  • Resolved a permission issue that prevented users with the Project owner role from assigning assessments to unrecognized respondents. The User can create invited user permission has been re-enabled for the Project owner system role.

Metadata for Datasets

|Available with Solution Packaging Only

Improve data use governance functions by automating dataset evaluation and surfacing metadata that clarifies data quality, sensitivity, and readiness. This accelerates access request reviews, ensures responsible data usage, and helps teams build AI models on compliant, trustworthy datasets, which enhances both accuracy and oversight.

Risk Aggregation for Related Records

Enable systemic risk visibility across linked inventory objects in AI Governance. When enabled, parent objects (such as AI Systems or Projects) inherit risks from related child entities (such as Models or Datasets), allowing organizations to automate comprehensive risk views.

For more information, see Risk Aggregation for Related AI Records.

Export Inventory Records to Column Report

Create a report of all records of a specific inventory and the columns eligible for bulk import, or the current saved view of an inventory screen including applied filters. This provides you with two flexible reporting methods to gather comprehensive insights into inventory records.

Permissions

Assessments – Invited User Security Enhancements

OneTrust is implementing new permission controls for Invited Users and Project Respondents to align front-end access controls with back-end API behaviors. This update ensures that low-privilege users cannot access metadata or assessment content outside their assigned scope. A new permission will be available for customers who need to restore the broader access level previously granted to their Invited Users.

No action is required unless you want Invited Users to retain their previous access. If you want Invited Users to retain their previous access, you can assign the newly introduced Advanced assessment metadata permission manually to a custom copy of the Invited User role after the change goes live in OneTrust 202601.2.0. Those users with the Invited User role will then need to be reassigned to the custom invited user role with the new permission.

For more information, see Assessments – Invited User Security Enhancements, Invited Users FAQ, and Project Respondents FAQ. For a complete list of products with permission updates in this release, see Permissions Release Notes Catalog.

Permission changes have been implemented to improve platform usability and administrative efficiency.
