In 2025-03, delivered a comprehensive permission-check framework for Storage Volumes (SV) in canonical/lxd-ui, enabling linking SVs to Instances and Images and supporting end-to-end lifecycle operations (create, edit headers/names, duplicate, manage and restore snapshots, and add/remove SVs) with UI-level permission gating. Expanded permission-driven workflows to cover bulk operations and advanced snapshot management (bulk delete, configure/edit snapshots, restore from snapshot, add SV snapshots, edit SVs), with UI cues like disabling migrate button when permissions are insufficient. Strengthened TLS and identity experiences with UX refinements: TLS Onboarding Refinement, Trust Token page, and unauthenticated navigation bar improvements, plus certificate generation flow enhancements (password modal updates and client cert flag integration). Implemented TLS Identity creation with Groups support. Delivered cross-repo documentation and enterprise-ready content: updated LXD storage pool management docs with a tabbed CLI/UI guide and refreshed Ubuntu.com Organizations page content (spelling corrections, extended security patch duration, and expanded Universe package count).
