Role-Based Access Control

2 posts · Apr 2024 – Mar 2025

What this trail covers

Qdrant continues to enhance its security and management capabilities with granular access control via JSON Web Tokens (JWT) for Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), Single Sign-On (SSO), and granular Database API Keys. This allows for fine-grained permissions for users and external applications, restricting access to sensitive endpoints and data. The release also includes optimized shard transfers using the WAL delta method, reducing transfer times significantly, and native support for uint8 embeddings, offering memory savings and speed-ups. Minor improvements include enhanced snapshotting performance and improved sparse vector search.

All Qdrant trails
  1. Introducing Qdrant Cloud’s New Enterprise-Ready Vector Search - QdrantThis post introduces Qdrant Cloud's new enterprise-grade features, including a Cloud API for simplified management and automation via Terraform, enhanced secure access and authentication with Cloud RBAC, granular Database API Keys (with TTL and payload-based filtering), and Single Sign-On (SSO) integration with major identity providers. It also details advanced monitoring and observability capabilities, including Prometheus/OpenMetrics support, Datadog and Grafana integrations, and a ready-to-use Grafana dashboard for visualizing key metrics and setting up alerts.
  2. Qdrant 1.9.0 - Heighten Your Security With Role-Based Access Control Support - QdrantIntroduced granular access control via JSON Web Tokens (JWT) for Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) and Single Sign-On (SSO), enabling fine-grained permissions for users and restricting access to sensitive endpoints. Implemented a faster shard transfer method using WAL delta, reducing transfer times from hours to minutes by transmitting only differential data. Added native support for uint8 embeddings, providing 4x memory savings and ~30% speed-up in search with minimal quality loss. Also included improvements to snapshotting performance, collection info reporting, and sparse vector search performance.
