AVAILABLE FEATURES
Cancel Access Request Users can cancel pending Jump Access authorization requests from the Web
Console, providing more flexibility and control over the authorization process,
extending the existing functionality of the desktop Access Console.
Canned Scripts Use pre-written scripts from either the Command Shell interface or the Screen
Sharing interface, increasing session efficiency by automating common processes.
Feature Description
Configurable Login Banner Configure a banner to display before users can log into either the /login interface or the
/appliance interface. If the banner is enabled, then users attempting to access either /login or
/appliance must agree to the rules and restrictions you specify before being allowed to log in.
The Login Agreement can be presented as part of the access console as a granular setting.
Administrators can choose where this agreement is displayed, and the same message is
presented when launching the access console or accessing the web administration interface.
Delegate Password Administration Delegate the task of resetting local users' passwords to privileged users, without also granting
full administrator permissions.
Delegate User Management Administrators can create a group policy type to onboard and manage vendors and other
users. An assigned vendor admin for a policy can manage onboarding and offboarding of
managed users for that policy.
Administrators can define up to 50 vendor groups.
HTTP Outbound Event Administrators can view the latest status of existing HTTP outbound recipients and have
Enhancements visibility into the number of events queued for each configured recipient.
Vendor Onboarding Improved the user interface for vendor groups, providing more visibility and a streamlined
workflow for vendor management. Administrators can see users requiring immediate action,
and Vendor User expiration information can be displayed for each user.
Vendor Onboarding - User Administrators can enable Vendor Users to request or sign up for access through a
Registration Portal customizable portal page. This functionality is an addition to the Vendor Groups section on
the Users & Security > Vendors page. Administrators can create and customize portal pages
for specific vendors, allowing users to register for the access they need, when they need it. The
Vendor Portal can be restricted to specific email domains as well as existing network
restrictions for the vendor group. Vendor User self-registration through the Vendor Portal
always requires approval for user creation by the defined administrator of the vendor group.
Vendor Group Increase The vendor group limit is 100.
Vendors - PRA Admin Granularity PRA administrators have the option to delegate all notifications and workflow approvals to any
PRA user in an associated vendor group. PRA administrator privileges are still required to
change security and configuration settings for the vendor group. Previously, all vendor groups
required a full PRA administrator to be the recipient of notifications and approvals.
Vendor User Expiration Notification Vendor Users can be notified of an upcoming expiration date as well as a notification of
expiration. The PRA administrator or the PRA user overseeing the vendor group can extend a
Vendor User’s expiration date before it is expired. Additionally, vendor administrators can
reactivate expired Vendor Users. User activation was limited to the PRA administrator
overseeing the vendor group in previous versions.
Vendor User Password Reset Vendor Users can now receive a password reset link. Anyone who can edit the Vendor User
page can click the Email Password Reset Link button.
Notification and Approval Notification and approval workflows are available for user onboarding. This decreases manual
Workflows administration of vendor management and allows faster access for new users.
Message Broadcast Send a pop-up message to all users logged into the access console.
Multi-Factor Authentication Gain the security of multi-factor authentication for your local and LDAP user accounts by
enabling time-based, one-time passwords. When logging into BeyondTrust, users must
provide a one-time password generated by a separate device or authentication app.
Multiple /appliance User Accounts Create multiple user accounts for the /appliance interface. Set rules regarding account
lockouts and password requirements. SAML can also be used to log directly into /appliance.
Feature Description
Search Functionality in /login Users can search for specific sections and settings throughout the administrative interface.
This functionality allows easier discovery and access to various information and configuration
that would have previously been more difficult to find. This functionality is available everywhere
in the /login interface.
Scheduled Discovery The Vault administrator can define a preset day and time to automatically run Vault domain
discovery jobs. This feature can provide continuous visibility for administrators regarding
domain accounts, endpoints, and local accounts associated with discovery jobs. Accounts and
endpoints found in the new discovery job can then be imported into Vault for management.
Service Account Management Vault can discover and import Windows service accounts for management. Administrators can
leverage this new discovery functionality to gain visibility into the service accounts in the
domains managed by Vault, as well as the descriptions and associated services for the
accounts.
Session Permission Policies Customize session permissions to fit specific scenarios, not just specific users. You can
change the permissions allowed in a session based on the specific endpoint being supported.
Session permission policies provide flexibility in building the security model for each specific
scenario.
Session Policies for All Jump Items Administrators can assign session policies to all Jump Items, enabling additional granularity for
Jump Item policies.
Teams Create teams based on skill set or experience level.
Team Collaboration Define how multiple teams may interact.
Templates Copy an existing security provider, session policy, or group policy to create a new object with
similar settings. You also can export a session policy or group policy and import those
permissions into a policy on another site.
User Accounts Create an unlimited number of named user accounts.
User Account Details Reporting Export account information about your user accounts for auditing purposes.
User Collaboration Define session sharing options.
User Login Schedule Exert control over access console availability to specific users by restricting when users are
able to log in.
Vault Account Groups Vault administrators can organize Vault accounts into account groups, providing a better
management experience for Vault admins. Admins can assign account groups to group
policies, rather than only individual Vault accounts, and Vault accounts can be assigned to an
account group during the import process.
Vault Accounts associated with Vault accounts are automatically associated with endpoints, providing a better user experience
Endpoints when injecting credentials into Privileged Remote Access sessions. Admins use the Vault
Discovery and Import functions to bring accounts and endpoints under Vault management.
Once under Vault management, the credential-to-endpoint association automatically occurs
for the relevant Jump Items. Users are presented with the associated Vault accounts when
injecting during session initiation.
Vault – Auto Update Stale Data Discovery jobs can automatically detect and update stale read-only attributes on accounts,
endpoints, or services that have been onboarded into Vault.
Vault Bulk Rotation Users and administrators can select groups of Vault credentials and perform a password
rotation on all credentials in the selected group, with just one click. This functionality provides
administrators with a simple and efficient method to rotate user-selected groups of credentials
or all Vault credentials at once, making it simpler to manage large numbers of credentials with
Vault, while eliminating the need for time-consuming manual rotation of individual credentials.
Feature Description
Vault – Account Policies Vault account policies can be assigned to Vault accounts or Vault account groups, providing
administrators with additional granularity regarding Vault account settings. Vault account
policies can define whether the account is included in scheduled password rotation, the
account’s maximum password age, automatic rotation after check-in, and whether the account
is available for simultaneous checkout.
Vault - Account Rotation Azure AD Privileged Remote Access enables organizations to properly manage and inject credentials
Domain Services managed by Azure AD Domain Services. Administrators can now leverage the Vault to rotate
account credentials managed by Azure Active Directory Domain Services. This new
functionality is an addition to the existing ability to discover credentials managed by Azure AD
Domain Services.
Vault Configuration APIs List Vault accounts with the Vault Configuration API. Vault administrators can also create
generic username/password and username/SSH key accounts using the API. This provides a
programmatic way to onboard Vault accounts that can't be automatically discovered through
Domain Discovery (Active Directory).
Vault - Configurable Columns Vault administrators can customize and configure the columns which are shown on the Vault
Accounts page.
Vault-Configurable Password Vault administrators can define the password length requirements for Windows local, domain,
Length and Azure AD accounts currently managed by Vault. Administrators can define these
requirements by navigating to the /login > Vault > Options page.
Vault Domain Filtering Users can traverse Organizational Units (OUs) within the targeted Active Directory Domain
when using the Vault Discovery functionality. Vault Discovery allows administrators to discover
credentials in the specified network. Administrators can then import credentials into Vault,
enabling users to inject and use the discovered credentials within Privileged Remote Access
sessions. Being able to traverse the OU's provides greater flexibility, while saving time and
resources. Instead of running a general discovery to the domain, admins can specifically target
the OUs of the teams and credentials that they wish to manage with Vault, decreasing the
amount of managed credentials in Vault, and making it easier to use and control the most
important credentials.
Vault – Jump Item Association Administrators can limit the credentials available for injection in a Jump session by associating
Vault accounts and Vault account groups with Jump Items. Associations can be direct or
dynamic with the help of match criteria based on Jump Item properties.
Vault Personal Accounts All Privileged Remote Access users can create private generic accounts in their own private
Vault. This functionality allows users to manage their own Vault accounts privately for use
during Privileged Remote Access sessions. The maximum number of personal accounts per
user is 50.
Vault - Search Discovery Results The Vault Discovery Results page in /login provides a search field to make it easier to find
the endpoint, account, or service you're looking for. The discovery results also include two
additional endpoint columns: Distinguished Name and Operating System name.
Vault Scalability Vault can now import, rotate, and manage up to 60,000 accounts.
Vault - Windows Service Account Vault can rotate Windows service accounts (local and domain). In addition to account rotation,
Rotation Vault can restart any services associated with the service account. This feature provides Vault
administrators with visibility and control over Windows services and service accounts,
improving their security posture and quality of service. Service cluster password rotation is not
supported in this release.
Feature Description
Jump Client Discovery and Rotation Jump Clients can perform discovery and rotation of local credentials (Windows only). This
functionality allows administrators to manage machines individually and set who has access to
those machines without the need to set up a local or shared account on the remote system.
This feature is to complement the use of Jumpoints in the network for domain-based rotation
but also allow for more singular control over smaller groups of machines.
Access Console Toolset Equip your users with the specific access tools they need.
Canned Scripts and Custom Special Create command shell scripts and custom special actions for users to run during sessions,
Actions increasing efficiency by automating common processes.
Centralized Access Console Define the access console settings for your entire organization. Enforce settings to ensure a
Settings consistent experience.
Jump Technology Create Jump Item Roles to easily assign sets of Jump Item permissions to users.
Collect Jump Items into Jump Groups, granting members varying levels of access to those
items.
Set expiration dates for Jumpoints.
Create Jump Policies to enforce when Jump Items can be accessed, if a notification of access
is sent, or if approval must be granted prior to access.
Jump Clients unable to connect to the B Series Appliance are automatically marked as lost,
allowing an administrator to diagnose the reason for the lost connection. Both the lost date and
the date at which a Jump Item is deleted can be configured.
After a software update, Jump Clients update automatically. Users can see which Jump Clients
have completed upgrade and can access them right away. While a Jump Client is awaiting
upgrade, users can still modify properties without having to wait for the upgrade to complete.
Post Session Lock Set the endpoint client to automatically lock or log out the remote Windows computer when an
elevated session ends.
User Permissions Restrict or enable toolset components (ex., View or Control, File Transfer, System Information,
etc.)

Endpoint Surface Analyzer Know and control how critical endpoints are accessed throughout your organization. Be aware
of the listening network port exposure for systems that you manage. Report and keep a
running log of critical endpoint network exposure.
Policy-Based Recordings Disable recordings at the Jump Policy level. If this option is checked, sessions started with this
Jump Policy are not recorded, even if recordings are enabled on the Configuration > Options
page. This affects screen sharing, user recordings for Protocol Tunnel Jump, and command
shell recordings.
License Reporting and Auditing Keep track of the number of endpoint licenses used. You can download a zip file containing
detailed information on your BeyondTrust license use. This file contains a list of all Jump Items
(not counting uninstalled Jump Clients), daily counts for Jump Item operations and license
usage, and a summary for the B Series Appliance and its endpoint license usage and churn.
RDP Session Forensics A setting for RDP Jump Items provides administrators with additional logging details for RDP
Jump sessions. Users can leverage this functionality by enabling the Session Forensics
setting in the RDP Jump Item properties. This feature captures additional session events, such
as Focused Window Changed Even and Mouse Click Event. RDP Session Forensics
enhances security by providing administrators with RDP Jump session details that previously
were only supported in Jump Client sessions.
Feature Description
Reporting Permissions Manage each user's reporting privileges.
Jump Item Reporting Administrators can now leverage a new report type specific to the administration and
configuration of Jump Items. For example, reports can be run for historical Jump Item events,
such as creation, deletion, copy, move, etc.
Session Forensics Session Forensics is a powerful feature that allows you to search across all sessions based on
session events. The feature empowers administrators to quickly and effectively identify critical
security events, and aids in the prevention of potential security breaches, as well as evidence
discovery. Searchable events include chat messages, file transfer, registry editor, session
foreground window changed, and shell recordings. Successful matches in stored shell
recordings automatically take the user to that point in time in the recording.
Session Reports View details of each session. Session reports include basic session information along with
links to session details, chat transcripts, and video recordings. Also included are details
regarding the Access Approver Name, Email Address, and Comments for sessions that
require approval. Additionally, the session report contains the Request Reason for sessions
that require users to specify a reason for their access request.
Session Recording Videos Record and view annotated videos of sessions and command shell sessions, including
command shell sessions.
Summary Reports See an overview of user activity over time.
Team Activity Reports View details of activity within a team, including login and logout times, team chats, and files
shared.
GDPR Pseudonymization Support Allow your organization to meet its GDPR initiatives with pseudonymization and consent
support in BeyondTrust. BeyondTrust administrators can respond to Right to Erasure requests
by searching for specific criteria supplied by the requester. Once reviewed, the results can be
anonymized with an automatically generated term or a custom replacement.
Session Anonymization Administrators using the anonymization functionality can now run additional anonymization
Improvement jobs on the same session reports in case a detail was missed in the initial effort. This helps
administrators honor a user's right to erasure requests more quickly.
Updates
During the update process, clients now download the update to their own install location and
Auto-Update Process for Hardened begin the update from there. By executing from the same location, the proper permissions are
Linux already in place and allow the update process for hardened Linux systems to be more
seamless for Privileged Remote Access administrators.
Feature Description
