Enhancement

Enhanced Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) for API Credentials

We are introducing granular role-based access control (RBAC) for API credentials used with Druva public APIs. This update enables administrators to assign specific predefined or custom roles to credentials, facilitating the principle of least privilege for all third-party integrations.

Key Enhancements

  • Expanded Role Mapping: API credential authorization is no longer restricted to Cloud Admin or Cloud Admin (Read Only) roles. Credentials can now be mapped to any predefined role, such as Profile Administrator or Legal Administrator as well as custom roles. This ensures integrations only access the specific data required for their function.

  • Granular Permission Selection: We have updated the Druva Cloud Platform to support the selection of individual, standalone permissions when configuring roles. Administrators can now independently assign rights such as view users, view storages, view profiles, and view restores for more precise control.

  • Dynamic Permission Updates: If you need to modify the access rights for an existing integration, you can simply update the permissions of the assigned role. This eliminates the need to recreate API credentials; permissions take effect immediately upon the application refreshing its access token.

Customer action

We recommend reviewing existing integrations to ensure API credentials are mapped to roles with the minimum necessary permissions. If you change a role assigned to an active integration, ensure the client application refreshes its access token to apply the updated permission set.

For detailed implementation steps, please refer to our documentation on Creating and Managing API Credentials, and Predefined Roles and Rights.

Known Issue

Issue

Description

INS-202881

Some large Google Slides or PowerPoint (.PPTX) files stored in Google Drive may fail to download during backup due to a known limitation in Google's infrastructure, causing them to be skipped during Druva's backup process.

Google recommends splitting these large files (>400 MB) into smaller parts or converting them to PDF or another suitable format as a workaround.

INS-182239

When a single event is deleted from a recurring series in Google Calendar and an in-place restore is performed for the entire series, the deleted event is not recreated.

INS-182780

Birthday and Task calendars from Google Workspace are not backed up.

Fixed Issue

Issue

Description

REAL-51341

We have fixed the issue of Sensitive Data Violation emails being sent to all the users, including those who had no violations. Hence, as part of the fix, the Sensitive Data Violation email will now be sent to only non-compliant users with more than or equal to one violation.

  • You have ownership of the encryption and decryption key, enabling your full control to revoke it anytime.

  • Druva will not store the key and the key will be requested when needed.

Enterprise Key Management is available on request. To enable this feature for your account, contact Support.
