  • Users can export PAM target audit logs by clicking the Export button in the audit log timeline.

Performance Improvements

  • Added additional metrics to measure CPU and memory usage in Kubernetes deployments
  • Tenant creation process is dynamic now
    • For an existing tenant, a missing object is created, and any differing object is updated. For a non-existing tenant, the object is deleted.

Usability Improvements

Face biometry for androids

  • In the latest version 4.2.0 (1), you can attempt to use biometric authentication on devices equipped with both fingerprint and Face ID, even if only Face ID is set up. However, if the device categorizes its Face ID as weak and no fingerprint is enrolled, an error message will appear, directing the user to set up fingerprint authentication.
  • Several Android phones use basic 2D face recognition, which Android considers "weak biometry":
    • Most Xiaomi phones (except models with 3D face unlock)
    • OnePlus phones before the OnePlus 8 series
    • Oppo, Vivo, and Realme phones with camera-based face unlock
    • Motorola phones with basic face recognition
    • Samsung's basic face unlock (excluding iris scanning or newer secure versions)

Added “account” column to Users and Add Invitation pages

  • We have added a new column, "Account", to the table. This enhancement improves user search and preview, as outlined in the use case.
