Revit Server Guard — What’s New

Version 1.2.3 — November 2026

This release focuses on the security of the management console and a refreshed interface. All system components were reviewed, and identified weaknesses were addressed.

Security

• Role-based access in the console is strictly enforced. Guests can now view projects, roles and disciplines only; users, audit logs, statistics and backups are hidden from them. Project administrators manage only their own projects. Only a server administrator can create users and roles or change server settings.
• Protection against password guessing. Sign-in and password recovery attempts are rate-limited; every unsuccessful attempt is logged.
• Passwords are required. A project administrator without a password must set one on first sign-in. A password can only be changed by providing the current one. Minimum length: eight characters.
• New audit events include successful and failed sign-ins, password changes and changes to sign-in settings.
• The console works offline. All console components are included in the installation and no longer load resources from third-party websites, improving security and supporting isolated networks.
• Secure connections. The console can be switched to HTTPS.
• User exports exclude passwords. Password-related data is no longer included in exported user lists.

Appearance and languages

• Four appearance themes: Auto (follows the Windows theme and changes automatically), Light, Dark (as in Revit) and RS-Systems (branded).
• A consistent design with other RS-Systems products: the same colours, buttons and typography used in the plugins and on the website.
• The interface supports 22 languages, matching the RS-Systems website. Translations have been expanded and corrected.

Installation

• Two installers for the same version: EXE automatically installs all requirements, including .NET 8, and suits most users; MSI is intended for IT departments and centralised deployment.

Version 1.1.4 and earlier

Core Revit Server Guard capabilities introduced in earlier releases:

• project access restricted to assigned team members;

• audit logs and statistics with PDF and Excel export;
