October 2, 2024

Password Settings in the Admin Portal

  • We've changed the default behavior for password policy changes. When you make changes to your users' password requirements, they'll be forced to comply on their next password change (not immediately), but you can still set a firm compliance date.
    • New users and users who update their password before your desired compliance date will be forced to adhere to the new policy.
  • See Manage Password and Security Settings for more.

JumpCloud University (JCU) Enhancements

We've released four new troubleshooting courses, which are free to access for all JumpCloud customers:

API Filter Enhancements

  • The pipe | character can now be “escaped” using the backslash \ character, enabling use within a search term while using the in and nin API filter operators.
  • Previously, the pipe | operated only as a filter separator and couldn’t be used within a search term.
  • This change applies only to API requests. See the JumpCloud API Docs to learn more about operators and see additional examples.
  • The following example filter will return users with any of the following department values:
    • Finance | Accounting

August

August 26, 2024

Remote Assist

  • We have enhanced the Remote Assist App to now automatically detect and terminate any existing agent instances on the end-user device when an admin attempts to establish a connection.
  • Previously if an agent instance was left running or became unresponsive, it blocked further remote connections until the instance was manually terminated.
  • This enhancement ensures that admins can consistently establish new sessions without manual intervention.

August 22, 2024

Windows MDM Policy Management with CSPs

JumpCloud Go™ Enhancements

  • To learn about the new password reset setting, see Manage Password and Security Settings.

API Security Enhancement

  • The GET request for api/systemusers/reactivate/{id} has been deprecated and now returns a 404 error. It has been replaced with a POST request.
  • Replace the GET request with a POST request in any script, automation, or integration that makes this API request, for example:

GET https://console.jumpcloud.com/systemusers/reactivate/{id}?activation_email={email_address}

To be replaced with:

POST https://console.jumpcloud.com/systemusers/reactivate/{id}
{
activation_email: {email_address}
}

Dynamic Groups API Updates: memberQuery Filters

  • The less than or equal to $le and greater than or equal to $ge filter operators have been deprecated in favor of $lte and $gte.
  • This change only applies to API requests and is a retroactive update to align the filter syntax between Dynamic Groups and the rest of the API list endpoints. Dynamic Groups managed in Admin Portal are not impacted.
  • For more information on operators, see the JumpCloud API Docs. 

Deprecated memberQuery filter:

"memberQuery": {
    "queryType": "Filter",
    "filters": [
     "osFamily:$eq:darwin",
      "osVersionDetail.majorNumber:$ge:12"
    ]
  }

New memberQuery filter:

"memberQuery": {
"queryType": "Filter",
    "filters": [

      "osVersionDetail.majorNumber:$gte:12"
    ]
  }

    • Windows Notification Service (enabled by default)
  • See Windows MDM Policy Management with CSPs to learn more.

July 16, 2024

Multi-Tenant Portal Security Settings

  • Global MFA Requirement: Admins with Billing can now bulk enforce MFA for all MSP admins in their tenant. From the Account > Settings tab, enable the setting under Global MFA Requirement.
    • When this setting is enabled, you will not be able to interact with the Require Multi-Factor Authentication setting on individual administrator accounts.
    • If the Global MFA Requirement setting is later disabled, MFA will still be enabled on individual administrator accounts, but the Require Multi-Factor Authentication setting is now editable on the individual administrator’s account.
  • See Manage MSP Admins in the MTP for more information.

July 15, 2024

Remote Assist

  • We've now added an inactivity timer if the app is idle before joining a session or if it reopens after system login. This ensures that any idle instances of the app are closed as such idle instances prevent new admin-initiated unattended or consent based sessions. Previously this timer was only shown after a session was completed.
  • See Get Started: Remote Assist to learn more.
    This image displays the Remote Assisst Application Closure Dialog

July 11, 2024

June 5, 2024

Enhanced Browser Tab Names for Remote Sessions

  • When troubleshooting multiple Remote Assist sessions at the same time, we have now enhanced the browser tab names to display the Remote Assist session device name.
  • Previously, when multiple Remote Assist sessions were running on different tabs, all the tabs were named Jumpcloud Remote Assist, and the user had to click each tab to identify the device. 
  • With this enhancement, users can quickly identify the tab that is running a Remote Assist session for a particular device.

Enhanced Remote Assist Prerequisites Check on macOS Devices

  • Previously, when macOS users logged in to Remote Assist, the JumpCloud Remote Assist System Access dialog window would display until all necessary permissions were granted for Remote Assist to function correctly (Screen Recording, Accessibility and Full Disk Access).
  • We have now added an option for the user to dismiss the JumpCloud Remote Assist System Access dialog window.  If the user selects the new Do not show me this message again checkbox, they will not see the dialog on their next login, but will receive a system notification to remind them to grant full access to any remaining system settings. 
  • For more information, see Grant Permissions for the Remote Assist Agent on macOS Devices.
