Note

For more information about the app, see:

Requirements:

  • BT PM App can only be installed on Windows machines.

New features and enhancements:

BeyondTrust Privilege Management App 24.5

  • The version of the BT Privilege Management App is now displayed in the user interface.

Policy Editor

  • Added AD connector search improvements to support searches on estates with a large number of groups:
    • Added Contains and Starts with search options to narrow the scope of results.
    • Updated the minimum character limit to 2 characters before a search can be initiated.
  • Added icons to the top level menu items in the Policy Editor menu.
  • Added account filters at an application rule level, either Application Rule or On-Demand Application Rule. Use this filtering to add certain users and groups to a specific rule. This granular filtering ensures that applications will only be accessed by those employees that require it. Search and add users and groups to the application account filters via Local AD for Windows. This feature is only compatible from ePO extension 24.5 (Unsigned).
  • A proxy configuration setting is available when adding an Identity Provider in Policy Editor messages. The Windows endpoint client can use the proxy when triggering MFA messages ensuring that HTTPS calls for authentication are routed correctly according to the customer's network configuration and security policies.
  • Moved Password Safe Integration Settings to Utilities to improve its findability and overall user experience.
