External Release Notes: Web UI (October 28, 2026)
New Features and Enhancements
SSH Key Based Authentication Support for SFTP
SFTP now supports SSH key authentication. Users add the public part of an SSH key in Egnyte and sign in with the matching private key, so no password has to be stored in scripts or shared. The private key stays on the user's computer and is never sent to Egnyte.
Option to Choose Sign in Method for SFTP Users
With SFTP enabled, administrators choose the sign-in method in Settings > Configuration > Applications, under SFTP Authentication Method: Password (Basic Auth) or SSH Key. From the same screen, administrators can also open View and manage domain SSH keys to see the keys in the domain.
Add and Delete SFTP SSH Keys
End-users with SFTP access can now manage their own keys in Settings > My Profile > My SFTP SSH Keys. The page lists each Key's name, Type, Fingerprint, and Creation date. Users can Create new keys and delete the existing keys.
Manage Keys as an Administrator
Administrators can now view and manage every SSH key in the domain, including keys created by users and keys created for service accounts, in the SSH Key Management window. They can add new keys or revoke the existing keys. A service account is an Egnyte account used by an application instead of a person, so it can not use the web UI to manage its own keys. Administrators can add and revoke those keys for it.
Grant SFTP Access to Specific Power Users with Custom Roles
Administrators can now grant SFTP access to selected Power Users through custom roles, rather than enabling it for all Power Users or none. This provides finer control over who can transfer files via SFTP and keeps access limited to the users who need it.
Account Management in Dedicated Tabs
Egnyte now offers dedicated tabs for managing Billing accounts, making it easier for users to handle payment and company information. Billing account management has moved out of the Current Plan page and into three new tabs under Settings > Subscription: Current Plan, Payment Methods, Company Details, and Invoices. This makes navigation simpler, as users can go directly to the relevant tab instead of scrolling through sections on the plan page.
Payment Methods: users can view saved cards, add a new card, change the default card, or remove one.
Company Details: holds the company information, invoice email recipients (multiple recipients are supported), and shipping address.
Invoices: provides a sortable list of invoices with status, preview, and download options, and invoice-based customers can also make a one-time card payment directly from this tab or choose to turn on recurring billing.
Current Plan: continues to display the subscription and plan details.
Issues Addressed
Saving Settings in Controlled Documents Portal in Initial Attempt
Saving category settings in the Controlled Documents portal, such as updating the root folder or import options in the initial attempt settings did not always apply on the first save and had to be re-entered.
Error in Sending Signature Request on a Document
The customer was encountering a technical error when trying to send a signature request on a specific document.
Accessibility to 3rd Party Recipient Links Feature
3rd-Party Recipient Links feature was not available for some GxP Plans due to an error which has since been resolved.
