You can rotate your encryption key at any time (up to once per month) without affecting existing backups or restore functionality. {% hint style="info" %} #### Rotate Key Rotating an organization's encryption key is performed in **Global Settings**. {% endhint %} **Highlights** * Rotate encryption keys on demand (once per organization per month). * The new key is securely stored in the Backup & Archive database and automatically used for all new backups. * Existing backups remain accessible and are not re-encrypted. * Restores automatically use the correct key version. * No disruption to backup or restore processes. * An email notification is sent whenever a key is rotated. * Available for both Flosum-hosted and self-hosted customers. * The Rotate Key option is visible only to organizations assigned the B\&A app. {% @arcade/embed flowId="grZ5ChvcRKsPEtitclWx" url="" %} ## ![](https://3248471126-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FKdKbUdYCYQswKDxgzTfY%2Fuploads%2FgG2A2IRhOXknRFbAGToW%2FNew-Feature-Icon2-Small.svg?alt=media\&token=76ce09b1-243a-482d-97e4-ccc4cbc94d67) New SAML and SCIM Support for Identity Providers We have introduced Security Assertion Markup Language (**SAML**) as an additional Identity Provider option, alongside the existing OpenID support. This enhancement allows organizations to implement SAML-based single sign-on for authentication within Flosum Cloud Apps. Additionally, System for Cross-domain Identity Management (**SCIM**) is now supported, which facilitates automated user provisioning. It allows you to provision, manage, and deprovision users within your Flosum tenant seamlessly.
--- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://docs.flosum.com/release-notes/global-settings/monthly-releases/global-settings-v1.6.9-monthly-release-notes.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
