# July
{% hint style="success" %}
## Feature release
### [Time zone improvements and bug fixes](https://help.security.gallagher.com/command-centre/accessnow-user-guide/system-administration/command-centre-integration/accessnow-settings)
**Date applied:** 30/7/2026
Date-based requests use the logged-in user's time zone by default. They also assume Command Centre uses that same time zone.
In AccessNow settings, set the Command Centre time zone to match the time zone of your Command Centre server. This ensures accurate request dates across time zones.
The time zone settings are reflected in any new requests after the session refreshes. It also applies after the user signs out and back in.
See the AccessNow [Command Centre Settings instructions](https://help.security.gallagher.com/command-centre/accessnow-user-guide/system-administration/command-centre-integration/accessnow-settings).

## Feature release
### [User Management Improvements](https://help.security.gallagher.com/command-centre/accessnow-user-guide/system-administration/user-management/creating-and-updating-a-user)
**Date applied:** 22/7/2026\
This release improves [user administration and authentication management](/command-centre/accessnow-user-guide/system-administration/user-management/creating-and-updating-a-user.md).
* **Improved user administration flows:** User management workflows now provide clearer handling for invitations, authentication methods, and account lifecycle management.
* **Create a new AccessNow user:** Create accounts before SSO provisioning, or create non-SSO accounts for contractors.
* **Local to SSO conversion:** Convert existing AccessNow-managed users to Single Sign-On (SSO) authentication.
* **User recovery and soft delete:** Disable and recover user accounts without recreating them. This provides a safer alternative to permanent deletion.
These enhancements simplify user administration, support SSO adoption, and reduce the risk of accidental account loss.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://help.security.gallagher.com/command-centre/accessnow-release-notes/2026/july.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
