You may already be using Active Roles to manage privileged access, identity and Active Directory (AD) from a single pane of glass.
But now, you can get more.
Active Roles release 8.2 is poised to offer multiple new features that support customers who are migrating to the cloud and applying web-based resources during the continuing market evolution. It also introduces enhancements to management within Entra ID.
Authentication enhancements for the Active Roles web interface
Customers employing Active Roles release 8.2 can enjoy the enhanced Active Roles web interface, which allows federated authentication to a configured identity provider. This allows customers the ability to choose the identity provider they prefer.
The streamlined web interface now supports multi-factor authentication (MFA) as well, allowing for passwordless authentication for stronger security and a more thorough integration of a Zero trust framework for your organization.
Seamless integration into an existing identity framework with built-in flexibility to the customer while improving security? Yes, please!
New capabilities supporting Entra ID
Active Roles release 8.2 provides customers the ability to fine-tune their Entra ID groups to the granular level for advanced identity and access management (IAM). Those distribution groups now have enhanced support for customers using hybrid environments by extending the Active Roles group management functionality to support Entra ID.
Moreover, US Federal customers can now manage and secure their Entra ID GCCH Tenant for fine grained delegation, user management and role management. The Active Roles release 8.2 enables US Federal customers to delegate and manage users and roles, streamlining their workflow while staying tamper-proof.
Conclusion
The Active Roles release 8.2 offers a host of improvements aimed at supporting customers through web interface enhancements and heightened support for Entra ID group and tenant delegation. Customers can enjoy the same identity management, access management and AD management they always have, with the added bonuses of streamlined authentication and increased security.
