Privileged Remote Access 25.3.1 release notes

December 18, 2025

🆕 New features

Automatic import of Password Safe managed credentials and endpoints

Say goodbye to manual drudgery! Vault admins can now automatically import domain accounts, endpoints, and local accounts right after scheduled discovery runs, thanks to smart, predefined filters. With Import Rules, you can assign filters to apply during a predefined scheduled discovery. This keeps your Vault fresh and secure, while still giving you the freedom to manually import anything that falls outside the filters.

This works across all scheduled discovery job types supported by Vault.

ECM Plugin - New Credentials Supported

Goodbye limitations, hello flexibility!

ECM now returns credentials for SSH, SSH Keys, Webjump, and databases (MSSQL, PostgreSQL, and MySQL Protocol Tunnel Jump Items).

Why it matters:

  • Seamless access for your database Jump Items
  • Faster workflows, fewer roadblocks
  • More power for your integrations
📘

This update requires a new plugin download. For more information, see Install the Endpoint Credential Manager.

Slow-roll Releases

Remember that automatic update feature from Base 8.0? It’s back, but smarter and friendlier!

What’s Changing in 25.3:

  • No surprise pushes. You get to choose when you update.
  • You’ll get a heads-up when a new update is available.
  • Download and install when it works for you. Full control, zero stress.
  • Staggered releases mean no mass rollout chaos.

Simply check the auto install checkbox and select your update cadence.

This is updates done right: transparent, flexible, and customer-first.

Prioritize external representative invite session policy over jump item session policies

Managing Jump Client sessions just got easier, and way more intuitive. You can now prioritize Session Policies assigned to external reps/access invites, ensuring expected policy enforcement in external session/access scenarios. 

What’s New?

  • The policy selected during the invitation process is the only policy applied to the invited Rep.
  • Jump Item and Public Portal policies are skipped for external invitees.

Additional security controls for Command Shell context

Flexibility meets control! Shells start in the context of the endpoint’s logged in user and use a button in the console to open an elevated shell tab that runs in the system/root context (only if the Jump Client is elevated).

  • Match the Logged-In User for a familiar experience
  • Go System/Root when Jump Client is elevated for full power
Allow Shell rules

Kubernetes Proxy - Support AKS (Cloud-only)

We’re making life easier for cloud-native teams:

Create Kubernetes Jump Items that work seamlessly with Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) endpoints.

Why you’ll love it:

  • Simplifies secure access to AKS clusters
  • Keeps your workflows cloud-ready and efficient
  • Your Kubernetes game just leveled up!

Granular /login admin permissions

We’re introducing granular RBAC magic to make remote access management a breeze.

Remote Access Management Role

  • Non-admins can add members to group policies

Why it matters:

Delegate /login administrative tasks to others that don’t need global admin rights to enable zero trust.

Non-admins:

  • Can see the Group Policy tab​
  • Cannot create a new group policy or change the order​
  • Can only see and edit group policies they are in​ and
  • Only membership section​

Grey out Vault accounts already in use

If a Vault account doesn’t allow simultaneous checkout and you try to grab it while someone else already has, no worries! The account still displays, but is grayed out with a little lock icon. Hover over it, and you’ll see a friendly message letting you know it’s currently checked out by another user.

  • Applies to Windows elevated sessions only
  • Off by default. Enable when you need that extra lockdown!
