Note: due too the latest changes suggestions might work less in the old releases of the browser extension

Add suffix as part of the username

The multi-tenancy released earlier makes it possible to use an e-mail suffix in more then one SelfGuide tenant. The add user lane in the Settings has been updated to make it possible to specify the e-mail suffix along the prefix.

Note: this change is only applicable if the SelfGuide native identity provider is used.

Switch tenants before login

Choosing the wrong tenant or specifying the wrong username happens to everyone once in a while. The tenant login page now has the option to go back and specify a different username. With this optimization, some unwanted edge case have been solved too.

REST API notification

The SelfGuide REST API is global available and can be used when the Advanced Integration add-on is part of the subscription. To keep information aligned, the notification within the product about using the application identities and REST API is updated and informs the user about the available documentation.
