+## Ticket Details
+### Slow performance when moving tenants
+**Audience:** Partner<br>
+
+#### Description
+This improves the performance of the tenant move wizard.
+The tenant move wizard loaded a lot of data in the background. In environments with a lot of
+projects and tenants this could lead to very slow behavior. This is now fixed.
+
+### Missing Partner Employee Permissions
+**Audience:** Partner<br>
+
+#### Description
+Due to a permissions issue, the Partner Employee role was no longer able to see and manage payment 
+methods in the Partner area. The permissions have been adjusted and the issue has been resolved.
+
+### Manage Workspace Users from the Admin Area
+**Audience:** Partner<br>
+
+#### Description
+Now you are be able to manage users directly from the admin area. This includes assigning, deleting, and changing roles, 
+as well as setting expiration dates, all without needing to assign yourself to this specific workspace. Note that this 
+functionality is available only to users with Partner Admin or Partner Employee roles.
+
+### Deprecation of meshStack resource inventory
+**Audience:** User<br>
+
+#### Description
+meshStack previously supported the inventory of Virtual Machines on OpenStack, accessible in the Admin Area
+under Resources > Platforms. This feature has now been fully deprecated and removed from meshStack.
+
+### Workspace Role Recertification Reminders
+**Audience:** User<br>
+
+#### Description
+To help you manage role recertification more easily, we have introduced a pop-up window that appears after logging in, 
+if your own or team member roles of any workspace you manage, expire. A banner is also shown on the workspace control plane 
+that reminds users about expiring workspace accesses. This helps you manage roles proactively and prevent any loss 
+of access.
+
+### Extend meshObject API with meshWorkspaceGroupBindings
+**Audience:** Partner, Operator<br>
+
+#### Description
+The meshObject API was extended to support the creation, deletion and
+retrieval of meshWorkspaceGroupBindings via the imperative meshObject API
+endpoints (as opposed to the declarative meshObject API endpoints).
+
+#### How to use
+The documentation for the new API endpoints is available in our meshObject
+API documentation, below the meshProjectGroupBinding. For now, this
+functionality is only available for API users, and not for API keys. Support
+for API keys will be available in the future.
+
+### meshObject API meshWorkspaceUserBinding status codes changes
+**Audience:** Partner<br>
+
+#### Description
+With this change, we have updated the HTTP response status codes for the
+newly introduced meshObject API meshWorkspaceUserBindings endpoints to align
+them with the behavior of other API endpoints. The POST
+/api/meshobjects/meshworkspacebindings/userbindings endpoint now returns a
+201 status code when creating a new meshWorkspaceUserBinding. If you're
+already using this API endpoint, please update your status code check to 201.
