New Features
Resources and Roles System (#1120) This release introduces a fundamental shift in how Hoop manages connections. The new Resources and Roles architecture brings structure, clarity, and fine-grained access control to your infrastructure. What’s a Resource? Resources are now first-class objects that represent your infrastructure components (databases, servers, APIs). Each resource can have multiple roles with different access levels and configurations. What’s changed:- Multi-step Setup Wizard — Four-step guided flow: configure your resource, select an agent, define roles with specific permissions (web terminal, native access, data masking), and confirm creation
- Resource Management Panel — New dedicated UI to view, filter, and manage all your resources in one place with type-based organization
- Role Configuration System — Each resource can have multiple roles with different configurations — think dev vs prod access, or read-only vs full permissions
- Integrated Agent Selection — Pick and configure agents during setup instead of managing them separately
- Unified Terminology — “Connections” are now “Resource Roles” throughout the platform, making the relationship between resources and access patterns crystal clear
- Create one resource, configure multiple roles for different teams or use cases
- Eliminate scattered connection configs — everything lives under its parent resource
- Guided setup prevents configuration mistakes and missing required fields
- See your entire infrastructure at a glance with the new resource catalog
- Transaction-based creation ensures resources and roles are created atomically
Enhancements
Command Palette Updates The command palette now supports resource role selection with enhanced filtering controls, making navigation even faster. Infinite Scroll & Pagination Connection listings now use infinite scroll with smart loading states, handling large infrastructures smoothly. Improved Search & Filtering Search functionality expanded to include resource names, status filters, and debounced queries for better performance.Technical Improvements
- Resource name validation ensures unique identifiers
- Transaction support for atomic resource and connection creation
- Updated data models with resource subtypes
- Enhanced credential handling for metadata-driven and custom configs
- Insecure SSL toggle for HTTP proxy connections
Version 1.44.0 redefines how Hoop manages infrastructure. Resources and Roles bring the organization and access control that growing teams need, wrapped in a setup experience that actually feels good to use. This is the foundation for everything coming next.
