Release Notes Version 7.206.0.0

We are pleased to announce the release of EmpowerID Version 7.206.0.0, a comprehensive update with new features, enhancements, and refinements aimed at empowering administrators and enriching the user experience. This release emphasizes the following key areas:

Connectors

• A new connector, the Azure AD B2C SCIM Connector, has been introduced to facilitate the identity management of Azure AD. This means the customer identity data in your AD B2C system can be inventoried and automated from EID. The connector is a microservice that has the capability of,

  • Creating and managing records of B2C group owners and members in AD B2C

  • Full inventory of group owners and members in AD B2C

  • Incremental inventory that captures only changes in group owners and members after the last inventory
    Currently, the connector supports the following operations on AD B2C.
    
    

EmpowerID UI Improvements

1. Upgraded Google ReCaptcha to V3, which improves security and user experience. With this upgrade, users will no longer be required to solve CAPTCHA challenges, and the system can detect risk based on user actions.

2. The Repeater sections have been updated to include Add, Edit, and Delete options in addition to displaying records in a card UI, which was already a feature. This allows developers greater flexibility in design and a better UI experience for end users.

Pinning resources in bot flows can be either temporary or permanent.

4. Added a Workflow Activity for ChatGPT, facilitating smooth integration and communication with ChatGPT within EmpowerID.

7. Added support for developing workflows and integration for SAP BAPI

   1. Introduced a new Workflow Activity that allows calling any BAPI function and executing the result, broadening the scope of workflows and integrations.

   2. With the LowCode UI, values can be set at design time or run time from the BAPI structure, increasing customization and adaptability.

Azure AD Improvements

1. Added support for Azure custom security attributes "Definitions" and "Assignments" through the SCIM Microservice and connector Inventory implementation.
