   Additionally, announcements can be configured separately for each application, allowing targeted updates for specific user groups or applications.

5. Magic Link to Admin Email *New Feature When a user requests a role, the admin receives a detailed email containing a magic link. By clicking the link, the admin is taken directly to the user’s profile within the relevant realm, eliminating the need to manually search for the user.

   1. Encryption of the critical data and configurations while storing in the database.(Data at Rest encryption)

   2. Encryption of the API payloads to secure the API communication between admin console and backend services.(Data in Transit encryption)

   1. Flexible View Options The new calendar view provides daily, weekly, and monthly perspectives, making it easier for admins to configure and adjust time windows for user access.

   2. Streamlined Management Admins can quickly schedule, update, and manage time fencing policies directly from the calendar. This enhancement improves efficiency while maintaining precise control over when users can log in.

8. Self Service Portal (SSP) Self Service Portal (SSP) now includes a dedicated Applications view section displaying all applications that are available to the user along with relevant details. For each application, assigned and available roles (application or realm roles) are shown separately. Users can now request available roles, and once approved by an admin, the role is automatically assigned to the user.

9. Geo-Fencing ZTrust now provides Geo-Fencing through an interactive map configuration. Administrators can define virtual boundaries (geofences) on the map and assign them to specific groups, enabling location-based access control and enhanced security.
