[chef-dev] [security-announce] Hosted Chef update

[Marc Paradise < >]

Ohai Chefs, 

Today we have deployed an update to Hosted Chef that will change the default permissions that chef-client has on data bag items for any new organizations that you create.  Previously the default was to permit chef-client to read, create, update, and delete data bag items.   Any new organizations created from this point on will instead to default to allowing only read access.  

Full details of the change and instructions on how to either make the same change to your existing data bags, or allow full chef-client data bag access in your new organizations can be found in this blog post:

Thanks,
