Cloudflare One, Access, Gateway - Logs UI refresh

Wed, 01 Apr 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Access authentication logs and Gateway activity logs (DNS, Network, and HTTP) now feature a refreshed user interface that gives you more flexibility when viewing and analyzing your logs.

The updated UI includes:

Filter by field - Select any field value to add it as a filter and narrow down your results.
Customizable fields - Choose which fields to display in the log table. Querying for fewer fields improves log loading performance.
View details - Select a timestamp to view the full details of a log entry.
Switch to classic view - Return to the previous log viewer interface if needed.

For more information, refer to Access authentication logs and Gateway activity logs.

Cloudflare One, Access - User risk score selector in Access policies

Wed, 04 Mar 2026 00:00:00 GMT

You can now use user risk scores in your Access policies. The new User Risk Score selector allows you to create Access policies that respond to user behavior patterns detected by Cloudflare's risk scoring system, including impossible travel, high DLP policy matches, and more.

For more information, refer to Use risk scores in Access policies.

Access - Clipboard controls for browser-based RDP

Sun, 01 Mar 2026 00:00:00 GMT

You can now configure clipboard controls for browser-based RDP with Cloudflare Access. Clipboard controls allow administrators to restrict whether users can copy or paste text between their local machine and the remote Windows server.

This feature is useful for organizations that support bring-your-own-device (BYOD) policies or third-party contractors using unmanaged devices. By restricting clipboard access, you can prevent sensitive data from being transferred out of the remote session to a user's personal device.

Configuration options

Clipboard controls are configured per policy within your Access application. For each policy, you can independently allow or deny:

Copy from local client to remote RDP session — Users can copy/paste text from their local machine into the browser-based RDP session.
Copy from remote RDP session to local client — Users can copy/paste text from the browser-based RDP session to their local machine.

By default, both directions are denied for new policies. For existing Access applications created before this feature was available, clipboard access remains enabled to preserve backwards compatibility.

When a user attempts a restricted clipboard action, the clipboard content is replaced with an error message informing them that the action is not allowed.

For more information, refer to Clipboard controls for browser-based RDP.

Access - Export MCP server portal logs with Logpush

Fri, 27 Feb 2026 00:00:00 GMT

MCP server portals now supports Logpush integration. You can automatically export MCP server portal activity logs to third-party storage destinations or security information and event management (SIEM) tools for analysis and auditing.

Available log fields

The MCP server portal logs dataset includes fields such as:

Datetime — Timestamp of the request
PortalID / PortalAUD — Portal identifiers
ServerID / ServerURL — Upstream MCP server details
Method — JSON-RPC method (for example, tools/call, prompts/get, resources/read)
ToolCallName / PromptGetName / ResourceReadURI — Method-specific identifiers
UserID / UserEmail — Authenticated user information
Success / Error — Request outcome
ServerResponseDurationMs — Response time from upstream server

For the complete field reference, refer to MCP portal logs.

Set up Logpush

To configure Logpush for MCP server portal logs, refer to Logpush integration.

Access - Streamlined clientless browser isolation for private applications

Tue, 17 Feb 2026 00:00:00 GMT

A new Allow clientless access setting makes it easier to connect users without a device client to internal applications, without using public DNS.

Previously, to provide clientless access to a private hostname or IP without a published application, you had to create a separate bookmark application pointing to a prefixed Clientless Web Isolation URL (for example, https://<your-teamname>.cloudflareaccess.com/browser/https://10.0.0.1/). This bookmark was visible to all users in the App Launcher, regardless of whether they had access to the underlying application.

Now, you can manage clientless access directly within your private self-hosted application. When Allow clientless access is turned on, users who pass your Access application policies will see a tile in their App Launcher pointing to the prefixed URL. Users must have remote browser permissions to open the link.

Access - Policies for bookmark applications

Tue, 17 Feb 2026 00:00:00 GMT

You can now assign Access policies to bookmark applications. This lets you control which users see a bookmark in the App Launcher based on identity, device posture, and other policy rules.

Previously, bookmark applications were visible to all users in your organization. With policy support, you can now:

Tailor the App Launcher to each user — Users only see the applications they have access to, reducing clutter and preventing accidental clicks on irrelevant resources.
Restrict visibility of sensitive bookmarks — Limit who can view bookmarks to internal tools or partner resources based on group membership, identity provider, or device posture.

Bookmarks support all Access policy configurations except purpose justification, temporary authentication, and application isolation. If no policy is assigned, the bookmark remains visible to all users (maintaining backwards compatibility).

For more information, refer to Add bookmarks.

Cloudflare Fundamentals, Access - Fine-grained permissions for Access policies and service tokens

Fri, 13 Feb 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Fine-grained permissions for Access policies and Access service tokens are available. These new resource-scoped roles expand the existing RBAC model, enabling administrators to grant permissions scoped to individual resources.

New roles

Cloudflare Access policy admin: Can edit a specific Access policy in an account.
Cloudflare Access service token admin: Can edit a specific Access service token in an account.

These roles complement the existing resource-scoped roles for Access applications, identity providers, and infrastructure targets.

For more information:

Cloudflare One, Access - Require Access protection for zones

Thu, 22 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT

You can now require Cloudflare Access protection for all hostnames in your account. When enabled, traffic to any hostname that does not have a matching Access application is automatically blocked.

This deny-by-default approach prevents accidental exposure of internal resources to the public Internet. If a developer deploys a new application or creates a DNS record without configuring an Access application, the traffic is blocked rather than exposed.

How it works

Blocked by default: Traffic to all hostnames in the account is blocked unless an Access application exists for that hostname.
Explicit access required: To allow traffic, create an Access application with an Allow or Bypass policy.
Hostname exemptions: You can exempt specific hostnames from this requirement.

To turn on this feature, refer to Require Access protection.

Access - New granular API token permissions for Cloudflare Access

Thu, 22 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Three new API token permissions are available for Cloudflare Access, giving you finer-grained control when building automations and integrations:

Access: Organizations Revoke — Grants the ability to revoke user sessions in a Zero Trust organization. Use this permission when you need a token that can terminate active sessions without broader write access to organization settings.
Access: Population Read — Grants read access to the SCIM users and groups synced from an identity provider to Cloudflare Access. Use this permission for tokens that only need to read synced user and group data.
Access: Population Write — Grants write access to the SCIM users and groups synced from an identity provider to Cloudflare Access. Use this permission for tokens that need to create or modify synced user and group data.

These permissions are scoped at the account level and can be combined with existing Access permissions.

For a full list of available permissions, refer to API token permissions.

Access - Cloudflare admin activity logs capture creation of DNS over HTTP (DoH) users

Thu, 08 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Cloudflare admin activity logs now capture each time a DNS over HTTP (DoH) user is created.

These logs can be viewed from the Cloudflare One dashboard, pulled via the Cloudflare API, and exported through Logpush.

Access - Generate Cloudflare Access SSH certificate authority (CA) directly from the Cloudflare dashboard

Fri, 14 Nov 2025 00:00:00 GMT

SSH with Cloudflare Access for Infrastructure allows you to use short-lived SSH certificates to eliminate SSH key management and reduce security risks associated with lost or stolen keys.

Previously, users had to generate this certificate by using the Cloudflare API directly. With this update, you can now create and manage this certificate in the Cloudflare One dashboard from the Access controls > Service credentials page.

For more details, refer to Generate a Cloudflare SSH CA.

Access - Access private hostname applications support all ports/protocols

Tue, 28 Oct 2025 00:00:00 GMT

Cloudflare Access for private hostname applications can now secure traffic on all ports and protocols.

Previously, applying Zero Trust policies to private applications required the application to use HTTPS on port 443 and support Server Name Indicator (SNI).

This update removes that limitation. As long as the application is reachable via a Cloudflare off-ramp, you can now enforce your critical security controls — like single sign-on (SSO), MFA, device posture, and variable session lengths — to any private application. This allows you to extend Zero Trust security to services like SSH, RDP, internal databases, and other non-HTTPS applications.

For example, you can now create a self-hosted application in Access for ssh.testapp.local running on port 22. You can then build a policy that only allows engineers in your organization to connect after they pass an SSO/MFA check and are using a corporate device.

This feature is generally available across all plans.

Cloudflare Fundamentals, Access - Fine-grained Permissioning for Access for Apps, IdPs, & Targets now in Public Beta

Thu, 02 Oct 2025 00:00:00 GMT

Fine-grained permissions for Access Applications, Identity Providers (IdPs), and Targets is now available in Public Beta. This expands our RBAC model beyond account & zone-scoped roles, enabling administrators to grant permissions scoped to individual resources.

What's New

Access Applications: Grant admin permissions to specific Access Applications.
Identity Providers: Grant admin permissions to individual Identity Providers.
Targets: Grant admin rights to specific Targets

Access - Access Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) destinations securely from your browser — now generally available!

Mon, 22 Sep 2025 00:00:00 GMT

Browser-based RDP with Cloudflare Access is now generally available for all Cloudflare customers. It enables secure, remote Windows server access without VPNs or RDP clients.

Since we announced our open beta, we've made a few improvements:

Support for targets with IPv6.
Support for Magic WAN and WARP Connector as on-ramps.
More robust error messaging on the login page to help you if you encounter an issue.
Worldwide keyboard support. Whether your day-to-day is in Portuguese, Chinese, or something in between, your browser-based RDP experience will look and feel exactly like you are using a desktop RDP client.
Cleaned up some other miscellaneous issues, including but not limited to enhanced support for Entra ID accounts and support for usernames with spaces, quotes, and special characters.

As a refresher, here are some benefits browser-based RDP provides:

Control how users authenticate to internal RDP resources with single sign-on (SSO), multi-factor authentication (MFA), and granular access policies.
Record who is accessing which servers and when to support regulatory compliance requirements and to gain greater visibility in the event of a security event.
Eliminate the need to install and manage software on user devices. You will only need a web browser.
Reduce your attack surface by keeping your RDP servers off the public Internet and protecting them from common threats like credential stuffing or brute-force attacks.

To get started, refer to Connect to RDP in a browser.

Access - Manage and restrict access to internal MCP servers with Cloudflare Access

Tue, 26 Aug 2025 00:00:00 GMT

You can now control who within your organization has access to internal MCP servers, by putting internal MCP servers behind Cloudflare Access.

Self-hosted applications in Cloudflare Access now support OAuth for MCP server authentication. This allows Cloudflare to delegate access from any self-hosted application to an MCP server via OAuth. The OAuth access token authorizes the MCP server to make requests to your self-hosted applications on behalf of the authorized user, using that user's specific permissions and scopes.

For example, if you have an MCP server designed for internal use within your organization, you can configure Access policies to ensure that only authorized users can access it, regardless of which MCP client they use. Support for internal, self-hosted MCP servers also works with MCP server portals, allowing you to provide a single MCP endpoint for multiple MCP servers. For more on MCP server portals, read the blog post on the Cloudflare Blog.

Access - MCP server portals

Tue, 26 Aug 2025 00:00:00 GMT

An MCP server portal centralizes multiple Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers onto a single HTTP endpoint. Key benefits include:

Streamlined access to multiple MCP servers: MCP server portals support both unauthenticated MCP servers as well as MCP servers secured using any third-party or custom OAuth provider. Users log in to the portal URL through Cloudflare Access and are prompted to authenticate separately to each server that requires OAuth.
Customized tools per portal: Admins can tailor an MCP portal to a particular use case by choosing the specific tools and prompt templates that they want to make available to users through the portal. This allows users to access a curated set of tools and prompts — the less external context exposed to the AI model, the better the AI responses tend to be.
Observability: Once the user's AI agent is connected to the portal, Cloudflare Access logs the indiviudal requests made using the tools in the portal.

This is available in an open beta for all customers across all plans! For more information check out our blog for this release.

Access - SFTP support for SSH with Cloudflare Access for Infrastructure

Fri, 15 Aug 2025 00:00:00 GMT
