Secure Access Release Notes
Here’s a summary of the latest features and improvements to the Beyond Identity Secure Access platform.
What's New
New Directory UI Features (Early Access)
We're introducing exciting new features in the Directory section of the platform. These features are currently in Early Access. If you'd like to try them out, contact Support.
-
New Enrollment Summary Section
A new Enrollment Summary now appears at the top of the Identities section, offering a quick snapshot of your directory. It displays key metrics such as the total number of identities, those enrolled or not enrolled, pending and failed invite attempts, and more.
-
Batch Enrollment Feature
Administrators can now onboard multiple users with a new bulk enrollment feature. This update simplifies enrollments by enabling administrators to send up to 200 invitation emails at a time to multiple users.
-
Batch Identities Deletion Feature
Administrators can now delete multiple identities at once with a new bulk deletion feature.
Multi-Realm Management Now Available (Early Access)
The new multi-realm feature allows administrators to manage Secure Work and Secure Customer identity directories within a single tenant, making it seamless to handle both employee and customer authentication workflows.

Granular Role Permission Customization (Early Access)
Administrators can now create and assign custom roles with granular, least-privilege permissions in the Secure Access Console. Admins can define exactly which actions each role can perform, such as allowing help desk staff to reset credentials or enabling application owners to manage app assignments. This feature minimizes the number of high-privilege accounts, reduces the attack surface, insider risk, and helps meet access control requirements for standards like SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and FedRAMP.
