Great work on the pushover notification fix! That was a huge selling point for me and I was rather bummed when it wasn't working.

Hi,
When you talk about supporting 5 more devices, do you mean that we have now 10 valid license for the free version or it means you support 5 new vendors?

Thanks.

In 1.4 when loging in unimus with radius authentication I can not see anything? I will roll back to 1.3.0 until this is fixed.
May be it shoud have an option to set what will be default role for radius auth users

We managed to replicate the issue.
We will release a 1.4.1 hotfix early next week that will have it fixed.

As for roles for external accounts, we plant to remake this a bit with the addition of LDAP support.
After that remake, you will be able to assign roles and even access tags to external (Radius and LDAP) accounts.

YES! LDAP my favorite integration!!!
