Vendor Credentials - Ability to hide/unhide Archived accounts - Aug 03, 2026

Today, Cloudability announces the ability to hide and unhide archived accounts directly from the Vendor credentials UI. With this release, Archived accounts are hidden by default, making it easier to focus on accounts that need review and action. Archived accounts can be viewed by switching off the hide archive toggle on the top of the vendor credentials page.

User Group and Entra ID Group Support – Jun 3, 2026

Cloudability Gov now supports user groups and Microsoft Entra ID Groups features. Admins can now create user groups manually or import them from Entra ID. This helps you efficiently assign users Views based on teams, roles, or business units.

Enhancements:

  • Manual user group creation: Create and manage custom user groups in Cloudability and add users to them. Once created, you can work with these groups in View assignment.
  • Microsoft Entra ID Group integration: Credential your Microsoft Entra ID and import Entra ID groups to Cloudability using the custom sync criteria or using Auto Sync option.

For more information, see Manage Users and User Groups and Connect Microsoft Entra ID

Vendor Credentials - Granular GCS Bucket Permissions – June 3, 2026

As part of IAM improvements in GCP, we have refined the Cloudability GCP onboarding script to use bucket-specific Google Cloud Storage permissions instead of broader project-level storage permissions.

With this update, GCP Storage permissions are being moved from CloudabilityRole_Billing to a new custom project-level role, CloudabilityRole_Bucket. This role is designed to support access only to the required GCS bucket resources.

This change improves security by limiting storage access to specific buckets rather than allowing broader project-wide bucket access, in line with the principle of least privilege.

The below permissions have been redistributed to the new CloudabilityRole_Bucket.

  • storage.buckets.get
  • storage.buckets.getIamPolicy
  • storage.multipartUploads.abort
  • storage.multipartUploads.create
  • storage.multipartUploads.list
  • storage.multipartUploads.listParts
  • storage.objects.create
  • storage.objects.delete
  • storage.objects.get
  • storage.objects.list
  • storage.objects.update
Note: This update will take affect with re-credentialing for existing customers. Latest template can be downloaded by editing the existing account.

Azure MCA credentialing - Auto Assigning Billing Account Reader role – May 25, 2026

Import and Export Business Mapping Definitions via UI – May 15, 2026

  • Export: Users can now export individual Business Mapping definition directly from the UI into a JSON file, allowing easy sharing or backup of BM configuration.
  • Import: Users can now also import BM definition into an existing BM. The imported JSON file populates the UI with new values, allowing users to review and validate the changes.
This feature allows customers to manage their BM definitions entirely through the UI, without the need for API access, streamlining the process of importing and exporting BM configurations.

Enhanced Forecasting - May 4, 2026

We released the Enhanced Forecast page – a new and improved cloud forecasting experience for Cloudability.

The Enhanced Forecast page is a major upgrade to the legacy Forecast experience, delivering the same core forecasting functionality with significantly more flexibility, transparency, and control. Users can choose their own forecast drivers, analyze full forecast line-item detail, benefit from more accurate Intelligent Forecasting, visually compare model results, and connect forecasts to budget workflows.

New and Enhanced Functionality (over legacy Forecast page)

  • User-selectable spend drivers – choose your own dimensions, instead of the fixed drivers used by the legacy Forecast page
  • Full forecast line-item detail – review all forecast line items, not just the top 20
  • Improved forecast accuracy – uses the Intelligent Forecast Engine to evaluate multiple models and automatically select the best fit, instead of relying on a single fixed model
  • Interactive model comparison and control – review model details, visually compare alternate model results, and apply a different model when needed
  • Pivot-style detail analysis – group, summarize, sort, and filter forecast line-item details directly in the table

Business Mappings View Only Permission Enhancements - April 14, 2026

We released an improvement to view-only permissions in Business Mappings area. With this change, users with view-only access will no longer see action buttons (Edit, Delete, Create, etc.) in Business Dimensions, Hierarchical Dimensions, and Business Metrics. Additionally, we unified the viewing experience across all Business Mappings areas. View-only users can now consistently access details in Business Dimensions, Hierarchical Dimensions and Business Metrics.

Ability to rename Hierarchical Business Dimension - April 9, 2026

We've launched the ability to rename Hierarchical Business Dimensions in Business Mappings. With this change, users can now edit the name of their Hierarchical Business Dimensions directly within the interface, which provides grater flexibility in organizing their structures.

Vendor Credentials - Ability to archive uncredentialed accounts - April 1, 2026

This release introduces the ability to archive uncredentialed accounts directly from the Vendor Credentials screen.

Previously, uncredentialed accounts had to be credentialed first before they could be archived. With this update, accounts in an uncredentialed status can now be archived directly using the ellipsis (⋯) menu, eliminating the need for credentialing.

Overall archive actions are now available directly from the Vendor Credentials screen for all accounts irrespective of the status.

Anomaly Detection - Anomaly Feedback - March 30, 2026

We’ve launched Anomaly Feedback Starting today, you can provide quick feedback on detected anomalies using a simple thumbs up or thumbs down. This helps us understand whether the anomalies being flagged are actually useful. Previously, there was no direct or structured way to share feedback, which limited our ability to refine detection quality based on real user input.

Vendor Credentials - UX improvements to details pane - March 24, 2026

This release introduces several usability improvements to the Vendor Credentials – Permissions details pane, making it easier for administrators to review and manage permissions at scale.
  • Permissions are now better organized into clearly defined sections, improving readability and helping users quickly understand how individual feature permissions are grouped.
  • To further simplify permission reviews, we’ve added quick filters that allow admins to instantly switch between enabled and disabled permissions—making it much easier to identify what is not enabled.
  • A new search bar has also been introduced, enabling fast searches across permissions and feature sections, especially useful when working with a large set of permissions.
  • Finally, administrators can now download the permissions status at the account level, allowing for offline review and easier audits when managing extensive permission configurations.
