# Essentials Release 3.8
Take a look at the new features and improvements of our 4App Essentials, version 3.8 (December, 15th, 2020).
# Admin information
# Automatically delete contacts when deleting users
You now have the option to automatically delete a synchronized contact from the contacts module each time you delete a 4ALLPORTAL user.
Go to the admin snap-in "Synchronized users" (General system configurations/User settings
) and find the new switch "Delete contact when user is deleted".
- Enable if you always want contacts to be deleted when deleting corresponding users.
- Disable if contacts of deleted users should remain in your contacts module. (default)
# Add function "Synchronize all users"
We added the function "Synchronize all users" to our "Users" admin snap-in (General system configurations/User settings
). It comes in handy after adding or editing mappings in your admin snap-in "Synchronized users". Changed mappings require a new synchronization for already synchronized users (= users which were automatically created as contacts). You can now synchronize them all with one click.
Find this function as a new action in your toolbox. You may also select and synchronize only certain users.
# Other changes

due_date
of the moduletask

field. Now, the dates in email notifications should be correct. - Only allow user with feature permission
