Iternal Turnkey SI Platform release notes, September 21, 2026

> A newer Iternal Turnkey SI Platform release is available: September 28, 2026. [Read the latest release notes](https://iternal.ai/releases/platform-rs/2026-09-28)

In development for the leaders who run Iternal platform deployments, from the first administrator to the first connected app.

**TL;DR:** The September 21, 2026 Iternal Turnkey SI Platform release adds, in development, a first-administrator setup step, registration rules by email domain and scoped connections for registered apps. The Iternal platform is designed to give organizations one place to bring people, access and connected apps together for their AI deployments.

Enterprise IT, security and AI-program leaders set who joins a deployment, who administers it and which apps can act inside it. In development, a new deployment names its first administrator through a setup step, deployment owners list the email domains allowed to sign up, and people connect registered apps with scoped permissions.

## Iternal Turnkey SI Platform release details

### Set up a new deployment's first administrator with a short-lived, single-use code

A new deployment gets its first administrator through an explicit setup step, so ownership starts with a named person. A signed-in person generates the code and the deployment operator redeems it; the code is short-lived, single-use and tied to that person and deployment. People who sign in with a company account can then add a first local password, which needs a verified email address and ends their active sessions so they sign in again. In development; applies to new deployments.

### Restrict self-service sign-up to chosen company email domains or named addresses

Deployment owners list the company email domains and individual addresses allowed to sign up for themselves, or leave registration open. The rule applies from the start of sign-up through to completion and to new accounts; existing accounts and sessions are unaffected. People an organization invites or an operator enrolls are admitted separately. In development; set by the deployment owner in the deployment's configuration.

### Connect registered desktop, command-line and agent apps to your workspace with scoped, revocable permissions

Each connection is independent, belongs to one organization and workspace, and can be renamed, reduced in permissions or disconnected. People approve the subset of permissions an app asks for, and disconnecting ends a connection for good. Permissions cover read and use access to Chat, and an administrator registers each app first. In development; limited to new deployments.
