This article describes planned changes for Centrify products and services on February 23rd, 2019 and applies to Centrify-only customers (as distinct from Idaptive-only, or joint customers) who subscribe to the Centrify Privileged Access Service (PAS). . The attached PDF file towards the end of this article can be used for end-user communications.
As Centrify administrators, you can expect to see some minor cosmetic and functionality changes to the User Portal, Admin Portal, Centrify Browser Extension (CBE), and Centrify mobile application. Our overriding goal is to improve your experience and productivity by providing you with a unified experience -- all PAM-related functionality now being in one convenient place, making your life easier.
Users will now see a simplified menu layout to improve your navigation, one that makes more sense given Centrify’s exclusive focus on PAS.

The Web apps for Centrify will no longer support the Apps and End Point centric apps in the catalog. If you have previously configured Web Apps in the User Portal, for your convenience those same applications will be automatically migrated to the Apps -> Web Apps screen of the unified portal along with their configured permissions. These applications can be launched via the Actions menu (or workflow-based Request to launch, if configured via the application’s Workflow tab) and will continue to function. Once deleted, these web apps if not available in the Centrify catalog , can no longer be added back. |
Access to your Security settings (password change, security questions, passcodes), Devices, and Activity data can now be found in the new Profile option under your account name. | |
This is also where you will add 2nd factors for multi-factor authentication (MFA), such as an OATH OTP Client |
The Workspace tab has a new widget called My System Accounts. Any local accounts (e.g., root on Linux) with a new Workspace Login permission box checked on it will be listed here |
