[en] New Features
[en] Auditing Configuration Changes in System Settings
[en] To enhance visibility and ensure proper governance of the Server software, we now log configuration changes made by admins with access to the Alteryx Server's host machines. When an admin updates System Settings and confirms the changes by selecting the final Confirm button, the details are recorded in a flat log file. This log is stored on the same machine as the Runtime Settings file at C:\ProgramData\Alteryx. Access to this log file is restricted to Windows accounts with administrative permissions.
[en] Workflow Results View for Admins
[en] We've added a new Admin Workflow Results and Job messages view. This enables Admins to see a list of workflow results and expand individual job records. You can see detailed job messages for workflows with statuses such as Running, Queued, Completed, Failed, Errored, Cancelled, or Warning. For more information, go to Workflow Results: Admin Interface.
[en] New Credentials Page for Non-Admin Users
[en] Non-admin users now have access to a Credentials page in the Server UI. This page allows you to view, create, edit, and delete custom credentials. You can also set credentials for running and scheduling workflows in Workflows.
[en] The Credentials page includes 3 tabs:
[en] All – Displays all credentials available to you.
[en] My Credentials – Shows credentials you have created via My Profile or Credentials, as well as those created through the Workflows or Schedules page.
[en] If custom credentials used in My Profile are already saved by an admin or another non-admin user, they won’t appear on your My Credentials page, but you will still be able to use them. These credentials are visible under the Default Credentials section.
[en] Shared With Me – Lists credentials shared with you by Server admins.
[en] You can sort and filter credentials for easier management.
[en] In Workflows, you can select credentials to Run and Schedule a workflow. You can enter new credentials, use previously entered ones, or select credentials shared with you.
[en] When associating credentials with a workflow from Designer, you can manage those credentials from the newly introduced Credentials tab in Server. These credentials will also be available in the dropdown for future use—both in Designer and in Server.
[en] For shared credentials or service accounts, the correct approach is to manage them through the Admin Credentials page. An admin should either create the credentials or invite a user to create them, and then share them with others via the Admin Credentials page. If shared credentials are used directly by multiple users without being shared by an admin, the credentials will be associated with the first user. All other users will not see these credentials in their My Credentials tab.
[en] For more details, refer to Credentials: Server User Interface.
[en] Inviting Users to Manage Credentials for Admins
[en] With the new Credentials page available to non-admin users, admins can now invite users to create or edit credentials when a password update is required. Users receive notifications for admin invitations, shared credentials, and invalid credentials. This enhancement helps reduce security risks. For more information, see Invite to Create or Edit a Credential.
[en] Server API
[en] New Endpoint to Cancel a Specific Job
[en] We've added the DELETE /v3/jobs/{jobId} endpoint, allowing users to cancel any running or queued job—whether manual or scheduled—on Alteryx Server.
[en] Curators can cancel any job.
[en] Other roles can cancel jobs they have created, triggered, or scheduled. It includes jobs shared with them through Collections, even if they are not the job owner.
[en] For more details, go to Job Endpoints.
[en] New API Endpoints for Server Credentials
[en] We've added two API credential endpoints for Server credentials (non-DCM):
[en] Create Server credentials:
POST /v3/credentials[en] Update password for existing Server credentials:
PUT /v3/credentials/{credentialId}
[en] These endpoints are available only to Curators and require TLS to be enabled. For more information, refer to the Credential Endpoints help page.
[en] Cron Expression Support for Schedule Endpoints
[en] We've added a dynamic scheduling flexibility by using Cron entries to align with the experience provided to cloud users and for a consistent experience across the various products in our platform.
[en] You can now use Cron expressions in the following API endpoints:
[en]
POST /v3/schedules[en]
PUT /v3/schedules/{scheduleId}[en]
PATCH /v3/schedules/{scheduleId}[en]
GET /v3/schedules/{scheduleId}
[en] For more details, visit the Schedule Endpoints help page.
[en] Server Usage Endpoints
Importante
[en] These new endpoints apply only to customers on the new Edition based pricing, launched in May 2025 for eligible customers.
[en] Online customers: Usage data is automatically collected and sent to Alteryx Analytics Cloud (AAC) at regular intervals. Admins can review this data directly in AAC.
[en] Offline customers: Offline customers must use AAC for licensing and billing. The usage data report will not be automatically sent to ACC. However, you can manually extract and upload the report via the API endpoints available on Server and AAC.
[en] For detailed steps on extracting and loading usage data to Server, please refer to Server Usage Endpoints.
[en] Added SAML Assertion Encryption Support
[en] To enhance security, we now support SAML assertion encryption, allowing you to both encrypt and sign assertions. This feature is available in both FIPS and non-FIPS environments.
[en] For configuration details, see the Configure Alteryx Server Authentication help page.
