What is Document360?
Document360 rebuilds its public API and turns docs into an agent-readable surface.
Document360 ships a dated release every two to four weeks and the last six months have been dominated by two threads: making the knowledge base machine-consumable, and hardening enterprise access control. The AI thread runs from the March MCP server through publishing and workflow tools in June and per-reader-group AI restrictions this month; the access thread runs SCIM provisioning, multiple JWT configurations, and reader permission inheritance. This release adds a ground-up API v3 with OAuth 2.0 and scoped keys.
What is Mattermost?
Access control keeps getting finer-grained for defense buyers, buried in a blog that mostly publishes essays.
Most of this feed is editorial aimed at defense, government, and critical-infrastructure audiences — air-gapped networking, Zero Trust gaps in collaboration tooling, sensitive-data translation, mobile data protection. The actual product news arrives as periodic version digests. The most recent, v11.9, adds channel-level ABAC policies, ranked attributes, and program masking, plus native Azure Blob Storage so files stay in the infrastructure a team already runs.

Document360
6.3COLLAB
Document360 rebuilds its public API and turns docs into an agent-readable surface.
◆ Current state
Document360 ships a dated release every two to four weeks and the last six months have been dominated by two threads: making the knowledge base machine-consumable, and hardening enterprise access control. The AI thread runs from the March MCP server through publishing and workflow tools in June and per-reader-group AI restrictions this month; the access thread runs SCIM provisioning, multiple JWT configurations, and reader permission inheritance. This release adds a ground-up API v3 with OAuth 2.0 and scoped keys.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is being rebuilt around programmatic access rather than portal usage. MCP made the knowledge base writable by an assistant, llms.txt made it discoverable to crawlers, copy-as-Markdown and open-in-ChatGPT made articles portable, and API v3 now gives all of that a permission-aware substrate the old v1/v2 endpoints could not support. The same permission model is showing up on the reader side too — Eddy AI features are now gated per reader group — so authorization is becoming the shared spine across API, AI, and reader access.
◆ Prediction
Expect the advanced API v3 endpoints to keep expanding as a paid add-on and the MCP server to be re-plumbed onto v3's scoped-key model, since MCP currently sits outside the new authorization scheme. A v1/v2 deprecation notice is the other likely follow-up.
Mattermost
5.0COLLAB
Access control keeps getting finer-grained for defense buyers, buried in a blog that mostly publishes essays.
◆ Current state
Most of this feed is editorial aimed at defense, government, and critical-infrastructure audiences — air-gapped networking, Zero Trust gaps in collaboration tooling, sensitive-data translation, mobile data protection. The actual product news arrives as periodic version digests. The most recent, v11.9, adds channel-level ABAC policies, ranked attributes, and program masking, plus native Azure Blob Storage so files stay in the infrastructure a team already runs.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is pushing authorization granularity steadily downward — from server and team scope toward per-channel policy, with attribute ranking and masking to express which parts of a program a given user may see. That is a direct answer to the sovereignty argument the blog keeps making: perimeter and identity controls stop short of where the work happens. Storage is following the same logic, meeting customers inside their existing cloud tenancy rather than asking them to relocate data.
◆ Prediction
Expect the ABAC surface to keep extending into finer objects and administrative delegation, and further deployment-native storage and infrastructure integrations. The editorial run on agentic AI in mission-critical operations suggests agent governance is being positioned before it is shipped, though the release notes here do not yet show it.
