Cloudwork® v46 Release Notes
New Features
Social Media Sign Ons
Added the ability to enable and configure Social Authentication (Log in with Facebook, Microsoft, Google, Apple)
Automatic provisioning of accounts permitted to use Social Media Sign Ons
Increased
security through independent account verification
OU level granular configurability
Adobe syncing
Redesigned for greater efficiency and volume handling
Increased volume capacity by addressing Adobe API's Rate Limiting Issues, improving Cloudwork's Adobe Sync Processes
Able to Sync Cloudwork's Users, Groups and Group members into Adobe for creating, updating and deleting accounts.
Improved simplified IT administrator workflow with Cloudwork's Adobe Sync. The Admin no longer needs to manually implement licences to each user in the Adobe Admin Console. Once Cloudwork's Users, Groups and Group Members are synced into Adobe, the Admin will only need to implement a licence profile to a Group within the Adobe Admin Console
Automated linking of Adobe accounts into Cloudwork. Cloudwork's Adobe Sync will check for existing Adobe Users, and if the email matches, it will link the Adobe Account to Cloudwork.
Suspended Options for Cloudwork Users. The options are to either be removed from the Adobe Organization, removed from the Adobe Organization and delete the account permanently, or ignored.
Any changes or updates on a Cloudwork OU or Group regarding Name Changes or Deletions from Cloudwork will be correctly updated in Cloudwork's Adobe configuration. This fixes syncing issues for those OU or Groups that had been updated, which now correctly includes them in the Adobe sync process.
Log export to SIEM services
Initially support QRadar SIEM.
Currently integrated through SecureISS accessing Cloudwork APIs.
Forgot Username messages
New template options
Fixes and improvements
Added the "I trust this device" option to the Cloudwork Authenticator MFA method
Fixed an issue where Multifactor authentication and ADFS prompted too often
Fixed some bugs around authorization rules and MFA
Fixed an issue where the trust token for MFA was some times not stored correctly
Fixed some sync profiles losing custom attributes
Small updates to Azure syncing
Fixes to User search: Will now search alternate email addresses
Fixes to Groups UI: Groups with multiple group types no longer breaks the Groups UI
Other UI improvements: Spelling mistakes, grammar improvements

The SBS Insight program has prepared an episode devoted to Identity Crime. I attended the recording of the episode last night as a non-speaking audience member.
Some of the stories are absolutely harrowing.
They included examples of breaches involving schools. This is a don't miss episode for anybody interested in identity theft and resulting crimes - especially in the education community.
I am so glad that Studentnet is investing so much effort into our Identity Protection initiative for Australian schools.
Insight's Identity Crime episode is scheduled to broadcast on February 28.
Kevin Karp, Studentnet
2023 - the year elevating the importance of protecting your school's identity and the identities of all of the members of your community be they staff, students and parents.
We'd like to take this opportunity of welcoming all of the new schools that are joining us for the first time in 2023 plus all of our existing outstanding school community. We can see all of the great work that you're doing bringing on board your new cohort of students, parents and teachers.
We've got a busy year of major feature enhancements planned for Cloudwork to make your life easier and to make your community more secure. For now, it's been a pleasure and honour to work with you all during what is always a busy and stressful time.
Congratulations on another successful start to the academic year!
The Studentnet Team
