    • Filter users and groups on Sync Results pages

    For more information, see Synchronizing Users and Groups from an LDAP Directory in the Kablink Vibe 4.0.1 Administration Guide.

  • Sharing: The following administration improvements were made for sharing:

    • Ability to determine whether LDAP groups can be used when sharing: New option to allow you to control whether groups that were imported from the LDAP directory are displayed in the Share with field when users are sharing an item.

    • Whitelist or blacklist for sharing: You can create a whitelist or blacklist for sharing with certain email addresses and domains.

    • New sharing option for File Link: Grant users the ability to share files by distributing a link to the file. Any person with access to the link then has access to the file.

    For more information about sharing, see Setting Up Sharing in the Kablink Vibe 4.0.1 Administration Guide.

  • Ability to Reset the Administrator User ID: You can reset the user ID for the Vibe administrator.

    For more information, see Changing the Vibe Administrator User ID or Password in the Kablink Vibe 4.0.1 Administration Guide.

  • Improved Method for Resetting Passwords: It is easier than ever for local and external users to reset their passwords. This method also applies to the Vibe administrator.

    For information about how to reset the password for the Vibe administrator, see Changing the Vibe Administrator User ID or Password in the Kablink Vibe 4.0.1 Administration Guide.

  • New user interface for granting administrator privileges: It is now easier to grant administrator rights to users and groups.

    For more information, see Creating Additional Vibe Administrators.

  • Team management administration: You can more easily view and manage team workspaces across your Vibe site.

    For more information, see Managing Team Workspaces in the Kablink Vibe 4.0.1 Administration Guide.

  • Enhanced user and group management interface: For information, see Managing Users and Managing Groups in the Kablink Vibe 4.0.1 Administration Guide.

  • Improved handling of external users: In Vibe 3.4, marking a user as external was a manual process. External user accounts are now created automatically when a workspace, folder, or entry is shared with someone outside of the organization.

    External user accounts from Vibe 3.4 are maintained after upgrading to Vibe 4.

    For more information, see Setting Up Sharing in the Kablink Vibe 4.0.1 Administration Guide.

  • Ability to disable access to the web client: You can disable users’ ability to access Vibe via a web browser. Users can then access Vibe only through Vibe Desktop or through the Vibe mobile app.

    For more information, see Disabling User Access to the Vibe Site on the Web in the Kablink Vibe 4.0.1 Administration Guide.

  • Support for multiple groups with the same name: In the Type-to-Find drop-down list, Vibe now includes the group name or group title, as well as secondary information about the group (either the group description or the Fully Qualified DN). This secondary information helps distinguish between multiple groups that have the same name.

  • Ability to specify a maximum number of REST requests: You can specify the maximum number of concurrent upload and download requests made by Vibe Desktop and mobile applications.

    For more information, see Section 10.4, Configuring Requests and Connections Configuration.

    For more information, see Permanently Deleting Files from the Trash in the Kablink Vibe 4.0.1 Administration Guide.

  • Data Quota on Outgoing Mail Messages: You can set a data quota on outgoing mail messages. The combined size of all attachments in a single outgoing email cannot exceed the quota that you set.

    For more information, see Enabling/Disabling Outbound Emailing of Folder Digests in the Kablink Vibe 4.0.1 Administration Guide.

  • Download Vibe Desktop and Add-In from the Web Client: You can make the Vibe Desktop and Vibe Add-In available to users from the Vibe web client.

  • Exporting and Importing Folders Includes Global Filters: When you export and import folders out of and into Vibe, all global filters are included in the export and import. (Personal filters are not included.)

  • Workspace Templates Can Be Created at a Non-Global Level: You can create workspace templates and make them available to only specific workspaces, rather than making them available at a global level.

  • Automatically Delete or Archive Audit Trail and Change Log Entries: You can configure Vibe to automatically delete or archive Audit Trail and Change Log entries after a given number of months. This is helpful if these logs are consuming a lot of disk space.

    For more information, see Managing Database Logs and File Archives in the Kablink Vibe 4.0.1 Administration Guide.

  • Ability to Deter Brute-Force Attacks with CAPTCHA: By default, CAPTCHA is now enabled on the Vibe site, securing the Vibe web application against brute-force attacks.
