# Ascent 2.15.1

#### General Changes

* Ascent users can now be given access to all groups through a simplified configuration, making access management easier where broad visibility is required.
* Group visibility has been adjusted so users see only the groups they manage, addressing scenarios where all groups were previously visible to some users.
* Assignment of Ascent users to groups in IAM now works as expected.

### Flow

#### Bug Fixes & Improvements

* Edges between non-forwarder pipelines and forwarders are now handled correctly, preventing unintended connections in pipeline graphs.
* Pipeline preview no longer clears the drop flag when multiple drop rules are configured, so drop behavior is accurately reflected during preview.
* Logs dropped by code rules are now visible in pipeline preview, giving a correct view of how rules affect data.
* Existing pipeline mappings are preserved when a new pipeline is created on a data flow in the pipeline graph view, avoiding accidental loss of mappings.
* The “Visualize Pipeline” view now loads reliably, improving troubleshooting and design of pipeline flows.

### Ascent Synthetics

#### Bug Fixes & Improvements

* Fixed an issue where users briefly encountered an Access Denied error while accessing the /check/{checkId} endpoint in the Ascent API.

### Observe

#### Bug Fixes & Improvements

* Pipeline preview now correctly handles multiple drop rules and no longer clears drop flags unexpectedly, matching runtime behavior.
* Login page no longer crash due to redirection issues when opening an environment, improving stability when switching or loading environments.
* The improved group-access model ensures users only see the groups they manage, while admins can still grant broad access where needed.
