   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.

   \
   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.
