# What's New?

## 6.0

### New

Lenses 6.0 introduces a new service, called HQ, acting as portal for multi-kafka environments.

* New HQ service
* IAM (Identity & Access Management). This has moved from each Lenses instant to a global location in the new HQ service
* Global SQL Studio
* Global Data Catalogue
* Community License: You can now use Lenses without a license (community license key is  bundled in the docker-compose) or expiry, but the following restrictions apply:

  * No SSO
  * A maximum of two environments (Kafka clusters) can be connected
  * Two Users with one an admin user
  * Two Service Accounts
  * Two Groups
  * Two Roles
  * No Backup / Restore for topics to S3

### Breaking

1. H2 embedded database is supported only from Lenses Agent version 6.0.6
2. Lenses 5.x permission model is replaced by global IAM. You must recreate the roles and groups in HQ
3. Connection management in the agent is via file [Provisioning ](/latest/devx/6.0/deployment/configuration/agent/automation.md)only.
