Here's a summary of the changes coming on January 22nd.
If you only read two things: Provisioning Webhook support and New UX for Access Reviews!
New Features
Clarity is the identity fabric for your organization, and part of that role is to power external application workflows that require identity changes.
Customers can now attach the “Send configurable api request” action to any workflow. This action is fully configurable to send any of the available data from the trigger out to external applications. For instance, when an entitlement is added to an identity, our customers could send a custom notification to their internal Slack or ticketing system, or an update to a ServiceNow ticket.
On the webhook side, our customers can now create their own custom api endpoints using whichever method they need. These webhooks will generate a secure token, and will run the configured workflow on request. This allows our customers to trigger any Clarity workflow they wish from an external system, again like an ITSM or any other source.
New Feature: User Access Review UX Improvements!
At Clarity we are proud of the product we’ve built, allowing our clients to have unparalleled visibility and flexibility in an IGA product. We’re constantly taking feedback and looking for ways to provide a more user-friendly experience for user access reviews, as business users completing access reviews are often less technical. This UX update allows a user to drill deeper into a review item’s context with greater ease using a new details panel.
There are additional improvements for filtering access reviews, allowing users to filter by application, tag, entitlement and more.
We’ve also improved the layout of the UAR items, now showing application icons, a more clear approve/deny flow, an improved bulk edit flow, and improved display of exceptions
We hope that users will enjoy the UI/UX changes, leading to a much better experience and faster, more accurate access reviews, without the need to ask for help.
New Feature: Azure Managed Identity Support
Customers who use managed identities within Azure can now see the entitlement nesting, role assignments, etc… for these entity types if also using AzureRBAC extension. This populates into our nested entitlement/entitlement graph data.
New Feature: Linked Entitlement Provisioning
It’s common that if you need something in one system, you’ll also need something in another. As an example, you might be added to the security group “Helpdesk workers” in EntraId, and anyone with that group also needs access to the “Helpdesk” role in Jira (independent of your role). Now, Clarity can detect if someone is granted “Helpdesk workers”, even if Clarity isn’t the system initiating that provisioning. Clarity will then automatically provision “Helpdesk” in Jira, without an admin needing to manually create an exception or change any RBAC configuration.
New Feature: Improved User Reconciliation Options
Admins needed the ability to reconcile a user to an identity even if the notification alert was hidden, or sometimes reconcile an inactive user to an identity for data cleanup purposes. Admins can now find unreconciled Users via the Application -> Users or Entitlement -> Users tab.
Ongoing Improvements
Impactful Bugs
We identified and resolved an issue where the report - "Entitlement Additions and Removals" would fail to list an Added Entitlement if it was also Removed during the Report’s time filter. It would only be listed as a Removal. No changes to existing saved reports are required.
