Read this summary of the new features, changes, and updated information for your product from Yokohama to Australia.\n\n**Tip:** If there were no updates for a release notes section in a certain family release, we included a short note for your reference. For example, if a product did not have any updates in Tokyo, the row says \"No updates for this release.\"\n\n## Important information for upgrading Access Management to Australia\n\nBefore you upgrade to Australia, review these pre- and post-upgrade tasks and complete the tasks as needed.\n\n<table class=\"custom-rows\"><thead><tr><th class=\"filter\">\n\nRelease\n\n</th><th>\n\nRelease notes\n\n</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>\n\nYokohama\n\n</td><td>\n\nNo updates for this release.\n\n</td></tr><tr><td>\n\nZurich\n\n</td><td>\n\nNo updates for this release.\n\n</td></tr><tr><td>\n\nAustralia\n\n</td><td>\n\nNo updates for this release.\n\n</td></tr></tbody>\n</table>## New features\n\nBetween your current release family and Australia, new features were introduced for Access Management.\n\n<table class=\"custom-rows\"><thead><tr><th class=\"filter\">\n\nRelease\n\n</th><th>\n\nRelease notes\n\n</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>\n\nYokohama\n\n</td><td>\n\n-   **[Security data filters](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=security-data-filters&family=yokohama&ft:locale=en-US)**\n\nSecurity data Filters enable you to control who can access sensitive data by restricting access to authorized users, regardless of how the data is accessed. Security data filters are applied before query execution, ensuring restricted data never leaves the database and prevents data leakage at the query level. Filters integrate into queries for GlideRecordSecure, GlideRecordSandbox, and GlideAggregateSandbox by default.\n\n-   **[Related record access](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=related-record-access&family=yokohama&ft:locale=en-US)**\n\nRelated record access integrated into the ACL framework enhances access management by enabling administrators to enforce specific ACLs for related tables. This ensures users can only access records in related tables, such as costs, estimations, or tasks, based on their permissions for the parent table, like projects or cases. Combined with broader ACL capabilities, Related record access ensures consistent, granular, and enforceable\n\n\n</td></tr><tr><td>\n\nZurich\n\n</td><td>\n\n-   **[Machine identity access controls](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=machine-identity-access-controls&family=zurich&ft:locale=en-US)**\n\nEnforce fine-grained access to data via REST or SOAP endpoints using Machine Identity Access Controls. This feature enables you to define which integrations can access specific data, confirming that the integrations only have access to the resources they need.\n\n-   **[Scripting Governance Tool](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=scripting-governance&family=zurich&ft:locale=en-US) tool and role**\n\nReview and help reduce the number of users with scripting privileges using the Scripting Governance Tool. This tool helps improve platform security with scripting governance based on user role.\n\nA new deny-by-default behavior is enforced for scripting unless you have the snc\\_required\\_script\\_writer\\_permission role. After an upgrade or zBoot, this role is automatically assigned via the Conditional Script Writer group.\n\n-   **[Datatype ACL](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=datatype-acl&family=zurich&ft:locale=en-US)**\n\nSimplify and help reduce redundant ACL definitions with Datatype ACLs. Create a single ACL to target all table columns of a specific data type, streamlining access control configurations.\n\n\n</td></tr><tr><td>\n\nAustralia\n\n</td><td>\n\nNo updates for this release.\n\n</td></tr></tbody>\n</table>## Changes\n\nBetween your current release family and Australia, some changes were made to existing Access Management features.\n\n<table class=\"custom-rows\"><thead><tr><th class=\"filter\">\n\nRelease\n\n</th><th>\n\nRelease notes\n\n</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>\n\nYokohama\n\n</td><td>\n\nNo updates for this release.\n\n</td></tr><tr><td>\n\nZurich\n\n</td><td>\n\nNo updates for this release.\n\n</td></tr><tr><td>\n\nAustralia\n\n</td><td>\n\n-   **[Query ACLs](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=query-acl-rule&family=australia&ft:locale=en-US)**\n\nQuery ACLs now load automatically during plugin installation for most platform plugins. These preconfigured ACLs reduce the need to run the QueryRangeACLAuditor tool to generate query ACLs. Store app query ACLs aren't included in preconfigured query ACLs. For more information about preconfigured query ACLs, see the [Maintenance Information \\[KB2046494\\]](https://support.servicenow.com/kb?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB2046494) article in the Now Support Knowledge Base.Existing custom query ACLs are preserved and loaded as inactive.
