Docs Collections Updates & Release Notes

Account API token creation is no longer limited to Super Administrators. Members with the API Token Provisioning role can now create Account API tokens via the Dashboard, API, Terraform, or CF CLI, making it easier for developers and platform teams to provision credentials without depending on a Super Administrator for Account API Token Provisioning.

What's new

• Delegated creation: Members with the API Token Provisioning role can create Account API tokens from the dashboard. Administrators can grant this role through the dashboard, API, or Terraform.
• OAuth support for token creation: OAuth clients that request the account_api_tokens:create scope, starting with Cloudflare CLI, can create Account API tokens.
• Account API token permissions limited to the creator’s access at creation time: Members can only create an Account API Token using the permissions they already have. For OAuth-created tokens, permissions are also limited to the scopes granted during authorization.
• Creator attribution and visibility: Account API tokens now include creator metadata. Super Administrators and Administrators can view all Account API tokens in an account, while members with the API Token Provisioning role can only view tokens they created.

For more information, refer to Account API tokens, Create tokens via API, and Roles.

We're expanding how customers create accounts across Cloudflare, making it easier to self-serve account creation in the dashboard, automate standalone account creation with user-owned API tokens or OAuth access tokens, and create Free accounts directly within Enterprise Organizations.

What's New

Dashboard account creation: All cloudflare customers can create additional Free accounts directly through self-serve flows in the Cloudflare dashboard.

Enterprise Organization account creation: Super Administrators can now create up to five Free accounts directly within an Enterprise Organization. This makes it easier to provision and manage additional accounts and directly associate them with your Organization.

API and OAuth account creation: Customers can now create standalone Free accounts programmatically via User-owned API tokens or OAuth access tokens.

For more information:

• Create a Free account in the dashboard
• Create an account via the API
• Create Free accounts in an Enterprise Organization

Enterprise customers can now configure a zone's CDN Maximum Upload Size up to 5 GB directly from the Network page in the Cloudflare dashboard. This removes the need to contact your account team or Cloudflare Support when applications need to accept request bodies larger than 500 MB and no greater than 5 GB.

The default maximum upload size remains 500 MB. Upload limits above 5 GB still require additional configuration through your account team or Cloudflare Support.

Very large uploads may reach connection or read timeouts before reaching the configured size limit. Make sure clients and origins allow enough time to complete the transfer when increasing this setting.

Refer to Cache upload limits and Workers request body size limits for details.

Cloudflare Dashboard users can now save login profiles on a device for faster sign-in on future visits.

What's New

Save login profiles on a device: After a successful sign-in, users can choose to save a login profile on that device. Saved profiles store the email address, login method, and last-used profile locally in the browser.

Faster sign-in for returning users: Saved profiles appear directly on the login page. Selecting one can prefill the email field for password logins or resume the associated SSO or social login flow.

Up to five login profiles can be saved per device, and saved profiles can be removed from the profile list at any time.

• Log in to Cloudflare
• Set up dashboard SSO

Cloudflare API 403 Forbidden responses now include a documentation_url field that links directly to the API documentation for the endpoint that was denied. This gives developers, administrators, and agents an immediate path to the relevant docs with role information instead of guessing at which role or permission they are missing for that endpoint.

What's New

Enriched 403 error responses: When a Cloudflare API request is denied, the error response now includes a documentation_url field that points to the documentation for that specific endpoint. Contextual 403 responses are now available across nearly all Cloudflare product APIs.

Faster troubleshooting: The linked API docs surface the roles required for each endpoint, making it easier to self-serve access issues.

Better support for tools and agents: Agents can use the \documentation_url field to immediately fetch the endpoint's documentation from the 403 error response, identify the accepted permissions for the denied action, and use that context to drive third-party approval workflows.

Example 403 response:

{
  "success": false,
  "errors": [
    {
      "code": 10000,
      "message": "Forbidden",
      "documentation_url": "https://developers.cloudflare.com/api/resources/workers/subresources/beta/subresources/workers/methods/list"
    }
  ],
  "messages": [],
  "result": null
}

We're announcing the GA of Optional OAuth Scopes.
OAuth client developers can now classify configured scopes as required or optional in the Cloudflare dashboard. By default, all configured scopes remain required.

What's New

• Optional Scopes: OAuth clients can now mark configured scopes as optional, allowing applications to request them without requiring users to approve them.
• Scope Selection: On the consent screen, users must grant required scopes but can decline optional scopes. This helps customers apply least-privilege access to applications, CLIs, and workloads. Optional scopes are selected by default.
• Templates: The consent screen now includes Read Only and Full Access templates to make scope selection faster and easier.
• Search: Users can now search scopes in the consent screen.

Learn how to select client scopes and edit optional permissions.

Original source

Members with only resource-scoped Access roles can now open Access resource list pages in the Cloudflare dashboard and call list endpoints in the API. They no longer need an additional account-scoped read-only role to list resources.

The dashboard and API return only resources included in the member's permission policy scopes. Filtering applies to Access applications, policies, service tokens, and identity providers. This allows administrators to delegate specific Access resources without granting account-wide visibility. Previously, the dashboard blocked these list pages and API list requests returned 403 responses.

For members with the Cloudflare Access App Admin role, policy lists include policies attached directly to the selected application. Reusable policies appear only when the member has the Cloudflare Access Policy Admin role for those policies.

For role definitions and assignment details, refer to Resource-scoped roles and Role scopes .

Original source

The Cloudflare Status page at www.cloudflarestatus.com has been rebuilt. It is available at the same address, and every previously documented Status API endpoint remains supported, so existing bookmarks, integrations, and monitoring continue to work.

Notifications that fire even when Cloudflare is down

The status page now has its own notification system, delivered independently of Cloudflare infrastructure. You can subscribe by email, webhook, Slack, Discord, or Google Chat.

The Maintenance Notification and Incident Alerts in Cloudflare Notifications remain supported, and deliver to the destinations already configured on your account.

Markdown for AI agents

Every page on the status page returns Markdown when requested with an Accept: text/markdown header, so agents can read the current status without parsing HTML:

curl -H "Accept: text/markdown" https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/locations

Separate feeds for incidents and maintenance

Incidents and maintenance are published as separate feeds, each available in RSS and Atom, so you can subscribe to one without the other:

https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/api/v3/incidents.rss
https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/api/v3/incidents.atom
https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/api/v3/maintenance.rss
https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/api/v3/maintenance.atom

For more information, refer to Cloudflare Status.

Original source

OAuth consent screens now display a shield icon with explanatory text beneath the consent screen title. Each shield icon indicates who owns the application and whether its domain ownership is verified.

• Green filled shield: Cloudflare owns and manages the application.
• Blue outlined shield: A third-party application with verified ownership of its domain.
• Amber filled shield: A third-party application without verified ownership of a domain.

Domain verification only confirms that the application owner controls the displayed domain.

For more information, refer to Authorizing an application.

Original source

You can now create standalone Free accounts directly from the Cloudflare dashboard using the new Create Account button. This feature is currently available to all users.

When creating a Free account:

• You can create up to 5 Free accounts.
• Your user account must have at least 7 days of tenure to be eligible.
• The account is created immediately and ready to use.

To create a Free account, go to the Cloudflare dashboard and select Create Account from either the account switcher in the top left (where your account name appears) or from the Accounts page.

Limitations

• This feature can only be used to create a Cloudflare Free account. To create an Enterprise Account under your existing contract, please contact Cloudflare Support.
• All users can create a Cloudflare Free account, however, Enterprises wish to restrict this action to only Super Administrators. We will deliver this improvement in a future release.

Next steps

After creating your Free account, you can:

• Add a payment method to enable additional Cloudflare products and services.
• Update billing information to manage payment methods, billing address, or tax IDs.
• Review how Cloudflare billing works to understand the billing lifecycle and charge types.
• Assign accounts to an Enterprise Organization to centrally manage multiple accounts from a single dashboard.

The Account Roles API is deprecated and is being replaced by the Permission Groups API. An end of life date has not yet been established.

What you need to do

Review the Permission Groups API documentation; the response schema differs from the legacy Roles response.

Highlights

• Integrations migrating to the Permission Groups API must obtain Permission Group IDs from that API and use them in the Account Members API policies request shape. Integrations that persist legacy Role IDs will need to remap their assignments.
• The legacy Role response includes a top-level description and a permissions object keyed by resource type with edit/read flags.
• The PermissionGroup response replaces those with a meta object containing label and scopes. Individual permissions are not returned as part of the permission group.
• The new API supports the API Token authorization scheme. The legacy Email + API Key authorization schema is provided for backwards compatibility.

For more information, refer to API deprecations.

Distributor, MSSP, and Agency partners on Cloudflare Organizations

Distributor, MSSP, and Agency partners on Cloudflare Organizations can now add and manage Organization Members directly from the Cloudflare dashboard, without help from Cloudflare.

Previously, adding a member to a Distributor, MSSP, or Agency Organization was a manual, Cloudflare-assisted process that required a request to Cloudflare and enrollment in a closed beta, and the dashboard Add member flow was blocked for these Organizations.

Now, Organization admins can add members themselves from Organization > Members > Add member, with no beta enrollment required.

New members receive access to the Organization's accounts through the same implicit-access model already used for enterprise Organizations. The Accounts list and the account switcher classify Distributor, MSSP, and Agency Organizations consistently with enterprise Organizations, so their accounts are labeled and grouped correctly in the dashboard.

Agency partners also gain access to the Organizations dashboard, while retaining access to their existing Tenant management dashboard.

Distributor, MSSP, and Agency Organizations are currently in beta.

For more information, refer to Manage Organization members.

Markdown for Agents now preserves security- and cache-relevant response headers from your origin when converting HTML to Markdown:

• Markdown for Agents preserves security headers such as Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS), Content-Security-Policy (CSP), X-Frame-Options, Set-Cookie, and CORS headers (for example, Access-Control-Allow-Origin) on the converted response.
• Caching headers (Cache-Control, Expires, Age) continue to pass through.

Your origin's Content Signals policy is now authoritative. If your origin sets a content-signal header, Markdown for Agents preserves it. When the origin does not send one, Cloudflare adds the default Content-Signal: ai-train=yes, search=yes, ai-input=yes.

This release also fixes relative link resolution for directory-style base URLs (those ending in a trailing slash). Previously, relative links such as ../page/ could resolve one path segment too high and return a 404. Links are now resolved correctly per RFC 3986.

Refer to our developer documentation for more details.

You can now assign granular, resource-scoped roles for Cloudflare Gateway firewall policies and Zero Trust lists. Administrators can delegate access to specific policy types or list management without granting account-wide or product-wide control.

What is new

When you add a member or create a permission policy, the following resource-scoped roles are now available:

Role Description Zero Trust Gateway Firewall Policies Admin Can view and edit all Gateway firewall policies, including DNS, HTTP, and Network policies. Zero Trust Gateway DNS Policies Admin Can view and edit Gateway DNS policies. Zero Trust Gateway HTTP Policies Admin Can view and edit Gateway HTTP policies. Zero Trust Gateway Network Policies Admin Can view and edit Gateway Network policies. Zero Trust Gateway Egress Policies Admin Can view and edit Gateway Egress policies. Zero Trust Gateway Resolver Policies Admin Can view and edit Gateway Resolver policies. Zero Trust Gateway Policies Admin Can view and edit all Gateway policies. Zero Trust Gateway Policies Read Can view all Gateway policies. Zero Trust Gateway Read Only Can view all Gateway resources. Zero Trust DNS Locations Admin Can view and edit DNS locations. Zero Trust Proxy Endpoints Admin Can view and edit Gateway Proxy Endpoints. Zero Trust Account Lists Admin Can view and edit all Gateway and Access lists. Zero Trust Account Lists Read Can view all Gateway and Access lists.

These roles allow you to:

• Grant a network engineer write access to Network policies only, without exposing DNS or HTTP policy configuration.
• Allow a security analyst to view all Gateway policies in read-only mode for auditing purposes.
• Delegate list management to a team that maintains block and allow lists without giving them access to policy configuration.

You can also now assign Resource-scoped roles. These roles are complementary to existing account-level roles, and allow you to grant access to a specific resource, like an individual Gateway policy or Cloudflare One list. Existing account-level roles continue to work. A member with the Cloudflare Gateway or Cloudflare Zero Trust role retains full access to all Gateway resources. This ensures backward compatibility for existing automation and API tokens.

Get started

• Review the resource-scoped roles on the Cloudflare role reference.
• Learn how to create permission policies that use these roles.
