Bug fixes & improvements

  • Infra CLI will now output more details when logging in
  • Improved the formatting of error messages when logging in
  • Access keys created by admins can now be used to create connector keys. This making it easier to automate connecting Kubernetes clusters to Infra.
  • Destinations can no longer be named infra
  • Fixed an issue where running infra grants list would show an "unknown user" error
  • Fixed an issue where a user being removed from an identity provider would revoke all access keys for that user, even personal access keys used in automation.
  • Fixed an issue where logging in with the browser would require creating an additional access key on behalf of the user
  • Fixed issue where rate limiting errors would show milliseconds when notifying the user how long to wait before retrying their request
  • Fixed an issue where CLI incompatibility errors would show the incorrect version
  • [API] Creating an access grant via POST /api/grants can now be done by providing a username instead of a user ID, making it easier to call this endpoint
  • [API] Updated the created_by field in various endpoints to be createdBy for consistency
