View Dashboard Gallery Permission We’ve also introduced a new permission: **View Dashboard Gallery** This permission allows administrators to control whether users can access the Dashboard Gallery. Organizations that want to provide only curated dashboards can now hide the gallery entirely from selected user groups. These RBAC enhancements provide much finer control over dashboard visibility and make it easier for larger organizations and MSPs to manage dashboard access at scale. ### ControlUp for Desktops ## Windows Agent version 2.18.0.9849 (Beta 1) (Jul 17) > [!NOTE] > Beta > > This version is currently in beta. To try it out, you can update your [version control settings](/v1/docs/agent-version-control) to deploy the beta version to a specific set of devices. ### New Features #### Remote Control [**Smart consent bypass**](/v1/docs/remote-control-smart-consent-bypass) When an employee reports an issue and then steps away from their device, getting consent for a remote control session can be a blocker. Smart consent bypass solves this by automatically starting a remote session if the device has been idle and the end user doesn't respond to a consent prompt within a configurable timeout. This feature does not bypass consent requirements when a user is active on their device. Smart consent bypass is disabled by default. It requires a specific permission for the ControlUp user, and it must be enabled on devices using Extended Settings. **Custom consent messages** You can now customize the consent request message that end users see when a remote control session is initiated on their device. The message supports variables so you can include dynamic information such as the name of the ControlUp user requesting access and the type of session being started (view or control). If you use the new Smart consent bypass feature, you can also customize the message that appears after the session has ended. Configure these messages in the following new [Extended Settings](/v1/docs/extended-settings): - Remote Control Consent Message - Remote Control Consent Bypass Notification Message #### View and manage services You can now get a live view of services running on a device. Right-click a service to take action or inspect it in detail. Available actions: - **Stop**, **Start**, or **Restart** the service - **Change startup type**: Automatic, Automatic (Delayed Start), Manual, or Disabled - **Change log on as**: Local System, Local Service, Network Service, or This Account - **Open process details**: See additional information about the service process, including loaded modules and threads Access services under the **Management** tab on the device details page. ![Services Page](https://cdn.document360.io/098100b7-b9da-4bea-b4b9-017140ab863e/Images/Documentation/ServicesPage.png) #### File browser and registry editor improvements **Separate RBAC permissions for user and system files** The File Browser now distinguishes between user files and system files, giving administrators more precise control over which file types a ControlUp user can access via RBAC permissions. > [!NOTE] > Note about existing File Browser permissions > > Previously, the “System Files” permissions granted access to all file types. Now, they grant access to only system files. This means that you might lose access to user files, depending on how your permissions are set up. You should review your roles and update permissions for system files and user files accordingly. **Access to user hives (HKEY_USERS)** HKEY_USERS is now accessible as a top-level hive in the Registry Editor. Each SID sub-key is resolved to its DOMAIN\Username, making it easy to identify which user's registry hive you are browsing. #### Network visibility **VPN and VLAN data collection** The Agent now records whether a device is connected through a VPN, and the device’s VLAN ID. These new fields (on_vpn and vlan) are stored in the data indexes listed in the following section. **Network context stored in additional data indexes** Nine network fields are now stamped onto multiple device indexes at event-write time, enabling you to correlate performance and stability data with the active network state of the device at the moment the event occurred. New fields: - Location: IP address, subnet, AD site, AD location - Connection type: Interface alias, network type, on VPN, VLAN - WiFi: Channel (in addition to existing SSID, BSSID, signal strength) Indexes receiving network fields: power_events, win_event_log, process_stops, device_status, builtin_peripherals, builtin_appdx_navigation, builtin_appdx_errors, builtin_ucc_agent_data, url_domains, builtin_session_tracking, netcfg_info, traceroute. ### Fixes **File Browser** - You can now download write-locked files using the File Browser. **Inventory & Reporting** - Fixed an issue where OS platform breakdown widgets occasionally showed incorrect device counts due to invisible characters in the data. - Improved BSOD detection. - Improved reliability of hardware model, manufacturer, and OS name collection. - Windows 11 system processes now correctly report their version number as 10 instead of 6.2 (reflecting the underlying NT kernel version). - Uninstalled Windows services are now correctly reported with a state of Removed. Previously they remained stuck in their last reported state. **Performance & Stability** - Fixed an issue causing elevated login durations due to sleep or hibernation events being misinterpreted. - Improved UDP transport detection reliability for Windows 365 Cloud PC environments. **Scripting** - Process names used to trigger scripts on process start are now matched case-insensitively. **Employee Sentiment Survey** - Active user detection improved — Fixed an issue that could prevent surveys from appearing. - Survey interaction tracking improved — Each survey stage (such as received, notified, snoozed, completed) is now recorded in the user_sentiment_visits data index. - Survey links fixed — Fixed an issue causing links inside surveys to not work correctly. - Removed zoom on image hover — Removed the hover zoom effect on survey images, which could cause them to appear blurry or distorted. ### Employee Dashboards improvements (Jul 15) - **See experience score over time**: In the **Active Employees by Experience** widget on the **Overview** page, you can now click the **Show Experience Toggle** to switch to showing the average experience score over time. ![Show Experience Score toggle](https://cdn.document360.io/098100b7-b9da-4bea-b4b9-017140ab863e/Images/Documentation/ShowExperienceScoreToggle.png) - **Shareable filtered views**: When you apply filters, they are now reflected in the URL. This lets you save or share the URL with a set of filters already applied. - **See per-device metrics for employees using multiple devices**: By default, in the **Details** grid, employees using multiple devices are condensed into a single row. You can now enable the **Expand rows per device** toggle to display one row per device, letting you see more metrics from each device. ![Expand rows per device toggle on the employees details page](https://cdn.document360.io/098100b7-b9da-4bea-b4b9-017140ab863e/Images/Documentation/ExpandRowsPerDevice.png) - **Export Details grid to CSV**: You can now export the **Details** grid to a CSV file. The CSV reflects your current view and applied filters. ![Export icon on the details grid](https://cdn.document360.io/098100b7-b9da-4bea-b4b9-017140ab863e/Images/Documentation/ExportDetailsGrid.png) - **Experience Timeline distinguishes between activities and events**: When you drill down into an employee’s experience, the Experience Timeline is now broken down by Activities (device power events and ControlUp actions such as scripts or remote control sessions) and Events (app crashes/hangs/freezes or BSODs). ![Experience timeline showing activities and events](https://cdn.document360.io/098100b7-b9da-4bea-b4b9-017140ab863e/Images/Documentation/ExperienceTimelineBreakdownActivityEvent.png) - **Clicking an employee’s activities or events now filters to show you what you clicked on**: When viewing an employee’s experience over time and you click on an activity or event, the Experience Timeline in the drilldown is now automatically filtered to show you the activity or event you clicked on. ![Drilling down into employee activity](https://cdn.document360.io/098100b7-b9da-4bea-b4b9-017140ab863e/Images/Documentation/DrillDownIntoActivityOrEvent.png) - **Removed employee search bar**: We removed the employee search bar now that the global search bar has been implemented throughout the platform. - **Fixed 65,000 employee limit**: The number of employees displayed on the Overview page is no longer capped at 65,000. ### [Enrich browser extension version 2.0.29](/v1/docs/enrich-browser-extension) (Jul 2) - **Improved validation of wildcards when used in site URLs**: When wildcards are used as part of a site URL, for example `https://*.mycompany.com/*`, there is an improved validation to prevent misconfigured sites. Note that it may take some time before the new version is available in the Chrome and Edge web stores. ### ControlUp DaaS IQ ### [Session Host Configuration: Automatic Image Security Settings](/v1/docs/host-pool-settings#step-3-security) (Jul 6) When you configure a session host, the **Image Security Type**, **Secure Boot**, **vTPM**, and **Integrity Monitoring** options are now automatically set based on the **Image Definition** you select, so the security settings always match what your image supports. This eliminates the need to configure these settings manually and prevents incompatible security combinations from being selected. ### [Image Details: Security and Configuration Settings Now Visible](/v1/docs/manage-images#image-details) (Jul 6) The image details page now displays the full security posture and Golden VM configuration of an image, including **Security Type**, **Secure Boot**, **vTPM**, **Integrity Monitoring**, **Hyper-V Generation**, **Architecture**, **OS Disk Size**, and **Virtual Network Resource ID**. This allows you to verify all relevant settings before using the image in a host pool. ### ControlUp for VDI See details in the [Latest VDI Version](/v1/docs/real-time-dx-versions-1) release notes.

You can combine the [tags](/v1/docs/centralized-tags-management#synthetic-monitoring-hives) feature to scope these permissions, limiting users to Hives with matching tags. ### [Tags for Custom Hives](/v1/docs/centralized-tags-management#synthetic-monitoring-hives) (Jul 9) You can now assign tags to Custom Hives. Use tags to organize Hives by region, environment, team, customer, or any other structure that matches your organization. Assigned tags appear in the **Tags** column in the Hives table. You can also filter the Hives table by tag to find the relevant Hives more quickly. ### Workflows ### [Disable Actions and Downstream Nodes](/v1/docs/create-workflows) (Jul 9) You can temporarily disable an individual action or all downstream nodes while building and testing a flow. Disabled nodes are skipped when the flow runs without deleting their configuration or connections. ### [List Devices from Microsoft Entra ID](/v1/docs/current-integrations) (Jul 9) The Microsoft Entra ID integration now includes a List Devices action for retrieving device information from Entra ID. ### [Pre-Fill Form Fields from URL Parameters](/v1/docs/forms) (Jul 9) You can now add URL parameters to a published form link to open the form with matching fields already populated. Users can review or change the values before submitting the form. ### [Custom Integration Support for Custom SSL Certificates](/v1/docs/create-flows-and-integrations) (Jul 9) Custom integrations can now connect to trusted on-premises services that use custom SSL certificates. Turn on Ignore SSL certificate when creating the integration to connect without validating the certificate. Disabling certificate validation makes the connection less secure, so use this setting only when necessary. ### [ServiceNow Incident Improvements](/v1/docs/service-now) (Jul 9) ServiceNow incident actions now provide more flexibility - **Create New Incident** and **Update Incident** support additional ServiceNow fields, including custom fields. - **Get Incident** can retrieve an incident by its incident number or sys_id and optionally return human-readable display values. - **Update Incident** sends only the fields that you provide, preserving other incident values. ### Set Datadog Incident Severity (Jul 9) The Datadog **Create Incident** action now includes a **Severity Level** field. ### Improved Loop Iteration Status (Jul 9) Loop nodes now show the status of each iteration during and after a run. **Jump to first failed node** opens the exact iteration where the failure occurred. ### Earlier Run Tracking (Jul 9) Runs initiated using **Run workflow** now appear in **Run History** as soon as they are initiated. ### Bug Fixes (Jul 9) - Improved JSON formatting in the query editor. - Improved filtering on the Overview page. ###
