Added the ability to import/export rules
- Privilege Manager now has the ability to import/export elevation and blacklist rules directly from within the console. This feature has many applications such as rule sharing, rule migration, and rule backup.
Customization options for user-facing messages
- Added a mechanism allowing admins a way to customize email messages (approval or denial) being sent as a response to users' self-service elevation requests.
Remove local admin rights from local accounts
- Added the ability to allow admins to use Privilege Manager to discover & remove local accounts from the Administrators group on client machines.
“Filters” option for both Application Discovery and Self-Service Requests
- Added a "Filters" tab to both Privilege Application Discovery Settings and Self-Service Elevation Request Settings. Admins can now filter out, directly from each client, both Privilege Application Discovery and Self-Service Elevation Request data prior to transmission.
More granular Data Collection controls
• Added the ability to individually enable/disable Data Collection activities for each rule.
Performance and Stability Improvements
- We continue to make usability and performance improvements, especially related to how both client-side and server-side components behave in large customer environments operating with limited bandwidth.
Product Licensing:
Each Privilege Manager license file is compatible with only a single major version of the product (eg. 3.x or 4.x). This means existing 3.x licenses will not be valid after upgrading to a 4.x build. Therefore, existing customers are required to obtain a new license file via the
License Assistance portal in order to be properly registered after upgrade.
NOTE: Privilege Manager for Windows does not phone home for product licensing. Refer to the Privilege Manager for Windows Administrator Guide for information on editions and applying a license.
