We're back with another Build a Feature post — and this one's been a long time coming.

Portal is getting a significant overhaul, and we want to share where we're headed before we ship, so we can hear from you while there's still time to adjust.

Why we're rethinking portal

The current portal works, but it's limited in ways that matter. You've told us:

• SSO support is missing

• Managing multiple companies or sites is painful

• Access to core Hudu tools (passwords, articles, processes) isn't available

• There's no search

• Personal password storage isn't there

• Museum access is missing

• Adding records to portal is tedious

And, you're right on all of it. Here's what we're building.

What's changing

The core shift: portal users will become read-only users of the main Hudu app — the same web app your internal team uses — rather than a separate, stripped-down experience.

Portal users remain free. This isn't an upsell. You get a significantly more capable portal without any change to how portal users are billed.

Access is scoped through your existing security groups, which means admins can grant portal users access to one company or multiple — whatever fits your use case. No new system to learn.

Portal users will have access to:

• My Vault (personal password storage)

• All core tools — passwords, articles, processes, photos, and more

• Company overview (minus quick notes, activity feed, and agreements)

• Hudini

• Hudu mobile app

• Hudu Assist browser extension

Portal users will not have access to:

• Central KB

• Global view

• Hudu Radar

• Dashboard

• Companies directory page

• Hudu MCP

Bonus: things we're building alongside this

A few improvements coming in tandem that aren't portal-specific but are closely related:

• Ability to disable specific core tools for your entire instance

• Ability to disable specific tools for a particular group

• KB folder permissions

• Admin >> Groups and Admin >> Users improvements — bulk actions, sort by role, and more

We'd love your feedback on:

1. Does the access model make sense to you?

2. Is there anything you were expecting to see here that we haven't mentioned?

3. Are there use cases you rely on the current portal for that you're worried won't be covered by this new model?

4. Any concerns about migrating existing portal members to this new setup?

Drop your thoughts in the comments — we read every reply and use this feedback directly to inform what we prioritize before we ship.

Looking at the docs, Hudu is missing a lot of the integrations the business would ask for, so I was wondering, is there an open API that enables us to build our own integrations?

At this stage, I am just looking for options

• Resolved an issue causing large API requests in some cases

• Fixed an issue where the KB icon could be missing

• Minor bug fixes and improvements

• Added dedicated password and OTP reveal buttons on the password details screen

Bug Fixes

• Resolved an issue that could prevent login after session timeout

• Various bug fixes and improvements

Just came across today and thought I'd share.
