Compliance Automation - August 7, 2026 - 202608.1.0 (Summer Release)
New Public Preview Features
- Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC) Phase 1
-
Introducing Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC), a new access-control model that brings record-level access management to the OneTrust Platform as part of ABAC Phase 1: Foundations. ABAC complements the platform's existing Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) model by using assignments through sharing, attributes, or workflows to determine which records users can access and what permissions they have on those records. This feature introduces assignment-based permissions, sharing and access management, and record-level auditing, helping organizations implement least-privileged access, improve governance, and simplify collaboration across teams and workflows.
For more information, see Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC) Phase 1: Foundations in the Settings & Administration release notes. This feature is related to the following ideas: PLTI-I-638 and GCIA-I-918.
Note:ABAC is being introduced through a phased rollout that begins with ABAC Phase 1: Foundations, available in Public Preview as part of OneTrust 202608.1.0 for supported objects across Tech Risk & Compliance.
For more information, see Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC) User Guide and Managing Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC) for Tech Risk & Compliance.
- Restore Deleted Inventory Records
-
Restore deleted inventory items directly with the Inventory Restore Feature. Users can restore a single record or multiple records at once with bulk restore. When a record is recovered, the inventory item and supported associated data are also restored. This enhancement reduces the need for manual support intervention and helps teams recover records faster.
For more information, see Restoring Deleted Inventory Records.
