# Release Highlights

The Cortex XSOAR 8.6 release includes the following highlights:

| Feature                                           | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        |
| ------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Multi-Role API Keys                               | You can now create API keys with multiple roles to improve operational efficiency and allow dynamic RBAC management of API keys. The API key permissions have the aggregated permissions of the roles associated with it.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          |
| Enhanced role-based access control for dashboards | The Administrator can now restrict access to specific dashboards for designated users through role assignment. Customized access control provides users with a more focused and efficient investigation and response. This prevents user confusion caused by excessive numbers of displayed dashboards and can also improve system performance. For more information, see [Dashboard actions](https://app.gitbook.com/s/vksWgzvBZ9ZvAg4dGLrH/dashboards-and-reports/dashboards/dashboard-actions). |
| New endpoint for managing API keys using the API  | Cortex XSOAR now has an API endpoint for GET, CREATE, UPDATE, and DELETE for API keys. You can also delete API keys in bulk. This makes it easier to automate onboarding new child tenants or retrieve information on all existing API keys. For more information, see the [API documentation](https://docs-cortex.paloaltonetworks.com/r/Cortex-XSOAR-8-API/Get-existing-API-keys).                                                                                                               |
| Cortex XSOAR Cluster High Availability            | Cortex XSOAR On-prem cluster, with three or more nodes, includes high availability capabilities to improve reliability for critical security operations. For more information, see [High Availability for Cortex XSOAR](https://app.gitbook.com/s/ZLVF3wonUykRqfBwOmlr/cortex-xsoar-installation/high-availability-for-cortex-xsoar/monitor-and-manage-nodes).                                                                                                                                     |
| Customize the favicon color                       | Users often work on several Cortex XSOAR tenants at the same time within the same browser. To avoid confusion and to save time, you can now change the color of the favicon for each tenant. This allows you to identify which tenant is being used in each tab at a glance.                                                                                                                                                                                                                       |

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/xsoar-8-opp-release-notes/8.6/features-introduced-in-this-release/release-highlights.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
