# 2026-06-12 New feature: inheriting authorisations in new applications

### The new feature

<p class="callout info">Now, on the [Application access tree](https://bookstack.soffid.com/books/soffid-3-reference-guide/page/application-access-tree "Application access tree") page, when creating an entry point, a **folder** or an **application**, the **authorizations** from the **parent** folder are now **inherited**.</p>

### Bear in mind

Please note the following points:

- If there are multiple levels of folders, **only** the **authorizations** from the **parent** **folder** are **inherited**.

### How to configure it?

The following **components** must be installed:

- Console 3.6.75 (or higher)

### Let's look at an example

On our "‘**Application access tree**" page, there are **two** levels of **folders**.

The **first folder** contains the following authorisations.

The **second folder** contains the following authorisations, the "Manager" user is different.

 Now, let’s **create a new application** in the **second folder**.

If we access it, we can see that it has the **authorizations** of its **parent** **Folder**.

# 2026-06-12 New feature: use holder group in UID script

### The new feature

<p class="callout info">Now, on the [Service provider](https://bookstack.soffid.com/books/federation/page/identity-service-providers#bkmrk-service-provider "Service provider") configuration page, the **holder group** can now be used in the **UID** selection **script**.</p>

### Bear in mind

Please note the following points:

- If there are multiple levels of folders, **only** the **authorizations** from the **parent** **folder** are **inherited**.

### How to configure it?

The following **components** must be installed:

- Federation addon 3.6.92 (or higher)

### Let's look at an example

First of all, we check that we have a **user** with **holder groups**.

We can now confirm that the **service provider** has the option "" enabled.

We use the **holderGroup** attribute in the **UID script**.

Finally, we’re going to authenticate with the service provider and **check the value of the UID attribute**.
