# FOSSA November 2019 Product Release Notes

> Learn about FOSSA's November 2019 product updates including user management enhancements, UI improvements, and new reporting features.

## User Management

FOSSA has overhauled user management to make it easier for large organizations to manage their teams.

**Introducing LDAP**

If your company supports LDAP Authentication, FOSSA can now be configured to use your Directory for user login and provisioning as well as automatically adding users to Teams. For more information, check out our docs [here](https://docs.fossa.com/docs/ldap).

**Introducing Team Admin Role**

FOSSA has a number of different user [roles](https://docs.fossa.com/docs/role-based-access-control) with different permission sets. Most recently FOSSA has created a Team Admin role. Team Admins can change project settings, rebuild projects, resolve/correct licensing information, manage the users on their team, and import new projects that belong to their teams. You can access these roles on the [Users Settings page](https://app.fossa.io/account/settings/organization/users).

**Introducing Default Roles**

You can now set a default role for anyone joining your FOSSA organization. To set a default role go into the [General Organization settings](https://app.fossa.io/account/settings/organization).

You can check your user role by clicking your profile in the top right hand corner.

## UI Enhancements

**Archive Branches**

You can now archive branches to better organize your projects. Archiving a branch stops FOSSA scans and removes it from the branches dropdown. You can unarchive a branch if needed.

**File Search for License Matches**

It is now easier to navigate license matches with a search to identify key files and a wider modal to read the full text.

## Reports

**JSON Reports**

We are excited to release JSON reports via our [Dependency Analysis CLI](https://github.com/fossas/fossa-cli/blob/master/docs/user-guide.md/#fossa-report). The command `fossa report attribution --json` will render results formatted as follows:

**Issue Export**

You can now export a list of all issues affecting your project or organization to a CSV. Simply go to the issues tab and click Export all to CSV! This contains information like Component, Version, Issue Type, License, and Details.
