bt CLI improvements

Making the bt CLI a first-class tool

Many people prefer to work in a terminal. They type commands, write scripts, and automate routine work. Until now, the bt command-line interface (CLI) acts more like a helper tool that sits next to the main consoles. Users often switch back to a console to finish a task.

This release changes that. The bt CLI now works as a fully supported way to carry out privileged access tasks. You can complete more of your work from the terminal, without opening a console.

This matters for two groups:

  • For people who spend most of their day in a terminal stay in one place and work faster.
  • For teams that script their access workflows get a tool that behaves more predictably. When the CLI acts the same way every time, scripts break less often and automation becomes easier to build and trust.

In short, the bt CLI moves from a convenience tool to a core part of how you manage privileged access.
