What's New in Zoho Directory

Device Reports are now available on the Reports page, offering quick insights into active devices assigned to users, currently enrolled devices, accounts with unsynced passwords, and devices running older agent versions.

Provisioning support is now enabled for SDPonDemand, allowing automatic field mapping between Zoho Directory and ServiceDesk Plus to streamline user data synchronization across platforms.

Now you can add users from SaaS Manager Plus to other identity providers via ZD (available only in US DC and IN DC)

Respective role-based permissions can be viewed under the roles tab.

The password reset flow has been updated for better security. Admins can only reset passwords for users whose primary email has been verified in Zoho Directory.

• Ability to change the local account name with added flexibility to choose a dynamic user name (Only supported for Linux devices now) 
• Enroll, assign, and deassign devices directly from the User tab in ZD 
• Redhat and Fedora distros now supported by ZD Device Authentication for Linux

Apart from supporting other identity sources, ZD now supports user sync through CSV-as-a-source feature. 

This is especially helpful for businesses who maintain user information in the CSV format.

Admins can now import many users from third-party applications through provisioning with ease.

Add bulk users into groups with the new "Add File" option and import new users into ZD in the CSV file format. This reduces the manual efforts put into the process otherwise.

Identity sources Okta and JumpCloud are now available in Zoho Directory Store. 

Admins can now sync users from these sources into Zoho Directory. (Users and groups provisioning supported for Jumpcloud, user provisioning supported for Okta)

When a store owner is deactivated from Zoho Directory, the sync between the store and ZD is lost. 

This feature enhancement allows the admin to change the owner and prevent loss of sync with the store.

Delete Store option is now LIVE for Zoho Directory Stores.

We have added the delete store option in Zoho Directory, though which inactive and incorrect Directory Store configurations can be removed.

When a new Store is added to Zoho Directory by the admin, a default read-only group is created for users synced from the new store. 

This enhancement helps create distinct user groups based on the identity source, and admins can easily assign security policies to these groups.
