Netsweeper is pleased to announce the release of Netsweeper 9.1.4 EA for early adopters. The 9.1.4 release continues to improve our Organization-based structure. We have added a 'Require Authorization to view Report Data' option to provide the ability to restrict access to Reports from child and parent Organizations. Additionally, the Group and Policy Templates can now be created per-Organization and shared with child Organizations.
The Netsweeper 9.1.4 release should only be used in development and testing environments and should still be considered experimental. Similarly, this release continues to make progress with the Request Log Database, improving the Report preview feature.
We will continue to develop and refine the Netsweeper 9.1 product over several iterations during the upcoming months, with the goal of having a GA release available to our customers late in 2025.
If you have any questions or concerns about planning an upgrade to this release, please contact Netsweeper Technical Support (support@netsweeper.com).
