The Strapi project has released a new feature, custom roles and permissions, in its community edition starting from version 4.8, which is now available for free without limitations. This feature provides Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) for users and groups, allowing the creation of custom roles tailored to specific user needs, as well as defining custom conditions of permissions. The Strapi Enterprise plans have been modified, with the Bronze and Silver plans being sunsetted on March 1st, 2023, and replaced by a new pricing model that includes the concept of "Seats". New plugins are also available in the Strapi marketplace, including ChatGPT integration, video custom field, and Open AI completion. The community is invited to contribute to the project, share feedback, and participate in future updates.
