Today is a day I get to make announcements, and I love making announcements. The reason for the cocktail this time will be made clear by the release notes, so lets make ourselves a stop and go and GO and check out what's happening.

First, an announcement

While we have cool new features, bug fixes and other things waiting for you. We first have a formal announcement to make. We've closed all the feature requests, we've closed all the bugs and are announcing a release stop. What does this mean? This means that we will not have our regular scheduled releases for a while as 100% of our focus is diverted. Instead of a release every two weeks, we expect to only make a new release in about 4-5 weeks.

Why? Because we're redeveloping our frontend. We've outgrown the current frontend and contacted a design studio to help us craft our new frontend. They've allowed us to release the frontend as open source but it's going to take our developers some work to get it all put together.

But this release does contain cool new features!

Let's start talking about the awesome new features we have, with first up our new alert for users that are inactive for more than 90 days, but still have a license assigned. You can now easily find those users by setting up an alert.

Quarantine viewer

you can now view the contents for quarantine(That word is so hard to spell!) messages using CIPP, you can check the headers, the contents, and easily see what's going on with the message.

BEC Updates

Our BEC viewer has been updated to collect more logs, more data means better data. We also show data immediately if its available, so you can check out exactly what happened in a tenant much quicker.

Other updates

  • We've fixed a minor issue with assigning Compliance policies from standards
  • We've improved the speed of assigning forwarding and loading mailbox related pages
  • My dear friend Nick Ross created a comparison between CIPP and Lighthouse, go check that out at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LqyhKjntX2s and give him a comment and like!

God I love release day, especially when it's a sunny one where I'm making lots of people happy. And It's not just me making people happy, hence the name of this release, because we have many announcements. So, Stop, Collaborate and listen to our latest release notes while enjoying this fine cocktail or mocktail

First Collab: Huntress ❤️ CIPP with RogueApps

Our friends at Huntress just released RogueApps: https://huntresslabs.github.io/rogueapps/. Rogueapps is a community driven OSS project that lists all Rogue Applications inside of a tenant. Now we would not be us if we didn't immediately talk to the amazing @HuskyHacks about this and get it integrated inside of CIPP as a new alert. Check out the New CIPP scripted Alert for Rogue App detection.

Second Collab: CIPP ❤️ Contributors

This release our contributors made some serious moves. @CHRIS-BRANNON added Teams Voice fixes and new features. @rdkempt helped update our docs, and we have a bunch of new contributors!

Third Collab: CIPP ❤️ Our Designers

You heard that right. CIPP loves our designers. The new management portal shows an example of our new design. It got a nice little facelist that we're working on getting into the full app soon too. Check out the management portal at https://management.cipp.app for a sneak peak.

Bug fixes and other things

  • The great @JohnDuprey fixed an issue with rerequire MFA, that button is now working again, including bulk actions.
  • We've solved some problems with task schedulers and alerting tasks running more than expected
  • We've fixed some interface issues
  • My dear friend Nick Ross created a comparison between CIPP and Lighthouse, go check that out at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LqyhKjntX2s and give him a comment and like!

v6.2.0 - The One Of Everything

Oh wow! it's time for a release again already?! insane that the last one was just a short two weeks ago. The last two weeks our team has been focused on making your wishes come true. That's why this release is called 'The one of everything' - If you want to check out the cocktail and drink it while reading this we won't mind.

Template Library

We've added a new feature called the 'Template Library'. CIPP has the ability to create static templates of any policy such as Conditional Access, Intune Configuration Policies, Intune Compliance Policies, and so much more.

Now that's cool and all but sometimes you just want things to stay in sync. Here's where we introduce Template Libraries. Instead of the template being a static object it's pulled from the tenant you point it too constantly, that keeps the templates fresh and good, and gives you a single location to enter updates.

image

Intune Standards v2

While we're on the subject of Intune, we've also updated our deployment engine for Intune Policies, you can now easily select which policies needs to be assigned to which group and get a better overview of how you've setup your policies.

Audit log view & Email viewer

We've also made it possible to get the auditlogs that have been triggered inside of CIPP, that allows you to view the audit log info directly in CIPP, and we've given you a new tool; the .eml reader that gives you headers, email information, attachments and everything else you're dreaming of.

v6.1.0 - The Pink Elephant

Woo! It seems like this release is pretty close to the previous one right? That's because our previous release was out of band, to get back into our normal cycle we've decided to create a Quality of Life release, and how can we enjoy one of these releases? Well, we can grab a beautiful Pink Elephant and enjoy it while sitting in the sun.

Let's get started on what makes this release special. We've added some very very cool features.

Preprovision OneDrive

Ever had a large migration where you had to create hundreds of users, and then move data into their OneDrive? If you have, you know that Microsoft only provisions OneDrive storage after the first logon. That means if you have 1000 users, you'd need to logon a thousand times to get their OneDrive available.

That will no longer be an issue with this version of CIPP. In the user menu you can now select any user, or bulk select users, and make sure their OneDrive is available before logging on.

image

Create SharePoint Sites (and bulk creation!)

With the latest version you can now create SharePoint sites using the SharePoint menu, you can even set retention labels, but that's not all. We thought about those major migrations. Bulk adding SharePoint sites easily using a CSV file.

Edit Contacts, Better searches, Dismiss Risky Users

Thanks to @BNWEIN we now have the ability to edit contacts easily, allowing you to easily set the properties of contacts, but that's not all. We also improved the searches in our side menu allowing you to easily grab the correct user in dropdowns, then finally @OfficialEsco also added a new method to allow you to dismiss user risk using CIPP.

And much more.

We've of course worked our way through our feature requests and standards to, here's a quick rundown of those changes:

  • Fixed an issue with Hudu force syncs not working
  • Fixed an issue with dashboard domain rows having incorrect counts
  • Added a new standard to disable Legacy workflows
  • added bulk delete to contacts
  • added the ability managed folder assistant for mailboxes
  • added a standard for quarantine releases
  • Updated the text for password clears
  • Fixed an issue with Choco not getting all parameters
  • added ability to set localization on mailboxes
  • Fixed an issue with exchange standard not applying
  • and so much more

Woowoo! We are proud to announce CIPP version 6.0.0 - The Voodoo! This release is named after the magic that happens when you combine the right products together to create the fantastic mix. We've focused on new extension, improvements to our extensions menu, and so many feature requests, Oh! and a complete backup tool for your M365 configuration.

Let's dive into the wizardy that this release has to offer. Oh, and if you need a drink first, check out The Voodoo

Voodoo? No! Hudu!

Our team brought our magical Tophats to the Hudu Team, to see if we can make something cool, and with a bit of fun we've created a beautiful extension into the Hudu universe. Syncing your M365 Users and Devices becomes a piece of cake. Get a complete contact database? Get a full overview of your users and licenses? what devices they have and need? It's all in there. Want to see how it looks? check out the screenshot below.
image

Now this isn't all, we're just getting started. So much more is coming faster than you can say "This extension creates magical automatic documentation"

CIPP Backup Wizard

We've added a new Wizard that allows you to create a backup of your M365 environment, fully automagical. You just set it up, you decide which items you want included on the backup and from that moment forward it runs it nightly - You can restore the backup whenever you make a mistake, delete a conditional access policy,

image

Storage Updates & Offboarding Wizard Updates & SharePoint links

As a couple of notable changes we've added the ability to create a direct copy of the required sharepoint URLs for automapping too. You no longer need to look up all these URLs and you can just hit copy and paste it directly into the Intune configuration.

The backend was improved too - We can now store larger and larger files, want to store a large file? want to create a really big template? go right ahead. We've added an option to our offboarding wizard to allow removing old calendar updates.

Other fixes

We've added about 15 new standards, SharePoint standards, we've added a litigation hold standard since you can use this with BP, we've added a self-service license standard, we've upgraded our MFA report to be faster. We improved our Gradient Syncing and functioned a whole lot of backend functions, making everything that much faster. That's not all - Check out the full release notes for more information.

v5.9.0 - The Chupa Chup

After last weeks surprise release, have a smaller release for you today. It's one filled with fun and flavour. Are you ready for some sweetness at the start of your week? Do you know what you really need? a fresh cocktail of course. Let's check out the chupa chup cocktail while we get to work.

Recap of the last release

In the last release we've added a new API Microsoft made available just because of us; per user MFA. You can now enable per user MFA, disable it, enforce it, and report it on it all through CIPP.

CIPP GDAP migration Wizard easy mode.

We improved the GDAP migration wizard, no need to go to multiple screens if you want to migrate to GDAP. The wizard now has a checkbox "Use CIPP Recommended configuration" which will take care of a lot of the work for you, Making implementing CIPP another step easier.

BPA updates

BPA has received some polishing and additives to it's formatters. We've also updated the speed of some of the updates running under BPA so you'll notice reports run faster.

Audit log updates

We used to receive audit logs from Microsoft whenever they felt like sending us some. This got quite busy at times. Instead we've decided to pick the packages up ourselves as we're just better drivers than MS ;) This causes a performance boost in the way we process audit logs. It also helps in keeping costs lower as we're no longer processing each webrequest.

Bugfixes and other notable changes

We've implemented a bunch of bug fixes; some issues with Exchange sometimes giving a strange result as the wrong anchor header was used, we've added some performance boosts to bulk requests for exchange, added a handful of new standards by @OfficialEsco and he also added a new risky sign in report, we've also expanded the default sign-in report to allow selection of how many failed logins trigger the log.

v5.8.5 - Per User MFA

Choose a tag to compare

So last weeks release was already a little spoiler to this one. We knew we had to wait on Microsoft so we made you all expect the unexpected.

Microsoft and our team has been working closely on this for the past 6 months, having hard discussions with Microsoft on needs and creating an API isn't always the easiest, but thanks to @microsoft and specifically Luc van der Ende at Microsoft it is now possible to use CIPP to control per user MFA. This is an amazing feature and worthy of an in between release.

Per user MFA Explained

Per user MFA is a legacy method of MFA that many tenants still use, it has no license requirements and is free to use for anyone. It used to be managed via the Microsoft MSOL module which is now gone. Thanks to our hard work this has been converted to a Graph API by Microsoft.

Per User MFA is on a deprecation path, but currently is still the only way for you to use MFA for each logon when you do not have Conditional Access Available. CIPP introduces management of per user MFA in multiple ways:

Reports

The CIPP MFA report has been updated to include per user MFA, Now you know that as long as one of the checkboxes are green, your users are protected by some form of MFA
image

User Settings

It's pretty useless to report on something, and then not set it right? We've added the set per user MFA option to the users flyout. Select a user, set their MFA.
image

Of course that's also available as a bulk option, so you can set it for multiple users in one go.

Standard

Of course you don't want to keep checking which users have MFA and which do not. You can set the new Per User MFA standard. This standard allows you to set up MFA for all users that are missing it, report on it in our reporting engine, or alert on it when you need to know what's going on.

image

Other notable changes

  • Fixed an issue with exchange sometimes using the incorrect domain
  • Fixed an issue with SAM Wizard not completing without a hard refresh
  • Fixed an issue with blocked domains blocking access everywhere.

Full Changelog: v5.8.0...v5.8.5

v5.8.0 - Expect the Unexpected

07 Jun 13:43

Compare
Choose a tag to compare

Wow! You know how everyone always says to expect the unexpected? we managed our own expectations and decided to implement some things people didn't see coming! ;)

The reason this released stewed a little longer than usual is because we decided to implement a way for you to create custom roles and groups, following the Graph-style of permissions. So, make a unexpected drink and lets dive into this release.

We also have some fun announcement; are you a CIPP sponsor and need to learn how M365 works? How CIPP works? need a training session or just someone to shoot off some questions to? We now have weekly training sessions given each Wednesday. Join our discord at https://discord.gg/cyberdrain to get all the CIPP or M365 training you need to be succesful.

Permissions? Permissions! Permissions?!

Taking the time to do things right, we've created a new method of applying custom permissions to roles and users. You can now specify super in-depth permissions deciding exactly how your custom roles look.

Of course we didn't just stop there, we also allow you to select which tenants a user sees, and which tenants they are absolutely not allowed to see. You can find these settings in our SuperAdmin menu. Need more information? check out the updated docs

image

JIT Administration, without JIT Administration pricing.

There's a lot of cases where you need a admin account, but you don't always want to have those laying around. You want to make sure you create temporary accounts and remove them when unused. CIPP is helping you do just that. We now have functionality to allow you to create an administrator account with the exact roles you need.

You set the start date, select an existing account or a current one, and an enddate and CIPP takes care of removing the permissions, disabling the account, or even deleting it when you're done. Cool thing; this doesn't have a required license level. No need for P2 licensing on all your tenants.

image

Plain text password, we hate them.

We hate showing plain-text passwords in the app, but you somehow need to get passwords over to your users right? Well, we might hate plain-text passwords but we absolutely love the open source community. We've implemented an extension for PWPush, this means that CIPP can now generate a PWPush link to send to your clients, instead of having to send them the password directly.

Special thanks to the PowerShell module created by @adamburley, and credits to our friends over at PwPush; @pglombardo for creating such an awesome OSS project.

Automatic Report Scheduling

We have so many options to report stuff, especially using the Graph Explorer - you can now create your own custom Graph Explorer reports and schedule them. Head over to the Graph explorer, customize your report to how you want it, and hit the "Schedule" button. This allows you to receive any report out of Graph as an email, webhook, or PSA ticket.

Custom BPA Reports

In the old days, to create a custom BPA report you had to upload the file manually, we've made sure that's no more. You can use the BPA report builder to easily edit and upload reports inside of CIPP now. Creating your own little sanctuary of reporting heaven.

Quality of life changes, those little things we all love.

@kris6673 added about 5 or 6 new standards, depending on when we start counting. @OfficialEsco helped us fix some bugs in the ATP/Defender states.

We've also added the autopilot failure reason per device, we've added support for Slack as a webhook endpoint, we've improved the HaloPSA mapping experience, and we've also added Auto-backup to the CIPP engine, allowing you to create backups of CIPP on a schedule.

Other notable changes

  • We've Fixed issue with tenant onboarding
  • Removed unused API endpoints
  • We've fixed an issue with the SecureScore overview page
  • We've added ability to set language in AP profile
  • Fixed issue with some defender policies not showing up in portal
  • Fixed issue with disabling and enabling spamfilters
  • Updated email templates to show correct clause statement.
  • So so much more. If you really want all the details, check the logs below.

v5.7.0 - The Floradora

Choose a tag to compare

Holy moly batman! have you noticed it's almost summer already?! That means MSPGeekCon is right around the corner. That's right. The best MSP Conference of the year is here. Most of our team is at the conference next week so feel free to drop in on us to say Hi!

Let's get into the new release shall we? named after this summery drink the Floradora is going to quench your thirst for a new CIPP release. We do have some required actions for this release, so don't just install willynilly!

A whole new way to manage CIPPs alerts. (Manual action required!)

We've had the alerting engine for a while now, but the most asked question was "how do we create the correct alerts?" - to tackle this our team has created more alert templates for you, but not just that. We also took a good long look at how we handled some of these alerts and looked at your feature requests, so;

  • Scripted CIPP alerts can now be scheduled, instead of always running every 15 minutes. That means you can choose to only receive license alerts once every 7 days, while receiving MFA alerts every day, and reset admin passwords every 30 minutes. You can set this up now, but to help you, we even have recommended alert times.
  • Audit log alerts can now be selected based on their properties. We've created an entire schema for you to select from dropdowns, making it super easy to create custom audit log alerts.

So what's the downside of this? you'll have to do a re-setup of your alerts so that we know which schedule you'd like for each alert. Remember to select the correct locations you'd like to sent the alerts to!

Durawhat? Durables!

This release we've also done some backend magic. In the Application Settings -> Maintenance tab you'll find a new way to see exactly what is eating away at your processing time for your instance. We've included buttons to stop specific processes or just clear what's been running too long. This helps prevent cost escalation when you've made a mistake in managing your CIPP instance.

GDAP with GA? Not anymore.

Microsoft has worked hard to no longer have Global Administrator permissions in GDAP environments, and @rvdwegen has been so kind to help us create a new option in CIPP to reflect that; you now have the ability to remove GA from a relationship. This means that even relationships that had Global Administrator by mistake, can now be auto-renewed after removing it.

Get a Rooms Management & Standards while onboarding

@JohnDuprey worked on a new feature to allow standards to not apply to newly onboarded tenants, a feature requested by our internal devs!

@OfficialEsco has added the ability to manager rooms via CIPP - You can now view their settings and change them which is super handy for those pesky exchange rooms that require a bit of configuration.

Quality of life changes, those little things we all love.

@kris6673, @gigacodedev and @PremierOneData have added filters, new standards, and fixed QoL stuff all around both the frontend and backend of our app. There's too many things to mention but some cool ones are making the cards clickable, fixing JSON formatting problems, adding filters, and updating log texts which was much needed at some places!

Other notable changes

  • We've fixed an issue with added e-mail addresses not updating when its a list
  • We've fixed an issue autopilot default profiles and assigning them to all devices
  • We've fixed an issue with the SecureScore overview page
  • We've added the ability to only see unmapped companies via the mapping interface.
  • We've fixed a bug with applying Conditional Access policies when the GUID was not yet translated.
  • So so much more. If you really want all the details, check the logs below.

v5.6.0 - Born To Be Wild

Choose a tag to compare

Oh my, this release we went a little wild, but I guess we were born that way. ;) Lets mix ourselves up the "Born to be Wild" cocktail and jump into this new release. By the way, this cocktail is also great as a mocktail, replace the tequila with some more sprite, and the Pisang Ambon with shaved ice banana syrup.

Our team saw the opportunity to build this release thinking of "how can we make everything just a little better for everyone", and it shows. I'll highlight my favourites but I'd recommend scrolling down to the list of changes because it's truly a lot of new features and tweaks. I'll try to focus on our Frontend work as that's what you'll see most of, but the backend has gotten a facelift too. We're now using a new engine for our Durable Functions which we've seen be a lot more performant for backend tasks.

Official support for Single Tenant mode, and Partner Tenant mode.

Previously unavailable as there was a lot of security to build around these two modes, but now officially and completely support; CIPP is introducing Single Tenant mode for when you want to run CIPP just for your own environment, or just for a single tenant. Imagine your co-managed client wanting CIPP for themselves, or managing a tenant out of scope of your M365 GDAP relationship. You're now able to setup CIPP to run for just that tenant.

But that's not all. With this change we've also introduced official support for adding your partner tenant to the CIPP environment. Of course this is something to be very careful of, and you don't want to over assign permissions, but you can now use CIPP to protect your own environment as much as your clients.

New dashboard, who dis?

Not much to say about this right? pretty charts and figures have been added to the dashboard, making it more functional than it was before:

image

Secure Score? You've got it.

We've implemented a secure score overview page, now some of you were wondering why it took a while or why we recommended to use the Graph Explorer instead while this was in development - A lot of products already give you a read-only secure score overview. We wanted to do more, and we did. CIPP now allows you to manage the Secure Score for your clients, but we've also added the capability to immediately remediate issues if CIPP has a standard for them, or instructions what to do if

Now the biggest problem most people have with Secure Score rating is that they solve some issues differently; using an external spamfilter, a different EDR, another IDP, etc. Don't worry boo, we've got you. We've added a button that allows you to change the Secure Score Remediation status and mark it as "Solved by a third party" - giving you the points to show your client how they're doing.

Of course now that we've done this, you can expect our competitors to suddenly have this feature too ;)

image

Queue tracking, or "What is CIPP doing in the background"?

We've decided to give you some more insight on what CIPP is working on, we already had our statistics page, but that's not live and didn't allow you to zoom in on exactly what's being processed. Sometimes you also just want to see your automation run, for fun.

Clicking on the queue button in the top bar now allows you exactly that insight.

Recording.2024-04-26.122748.mp4

New mapping Experience & Scheduler changes

The scheduler now has the ability to copy tasks, that means if you setup a complex task for one user and need to do it again, you don't have to fill in all the details once more. It just does it for you :)

Our extensions got a boost too, the mapping experience used to be pretty long lists of tenants to map correctly, instead we've opted for an easier way to manage these mappings and now allow you to Automap based on names for HaloPSA too;

image

Quality of life changes, those little things we all love.

We've also tackled a lot of quality of life changes; we've added a refresh button next to our tenant selector. This allows you to refresh that selector without needing an entire refresh of the page; super handy when you've just onboarded a new tenant.

We're also proud to announce some news; starting with our new release and readme sponsor: Ren Roros from Norway! @OfficialEsco, one of our latest contributors who's been adding cool features to CIPP also decided to join the fray for a readme sponsorship, following the example of RYC Business IT.

But that's not all! I already sneak-previewed this just a little bit but in the next release we're adding a new sponsor that is developing an extension for CIPP, a new-old sponsor to be more accurate. One of the best documentation systems I've personally ever seen has upgraded their sponsorship and we're proud to be working with them! Check them out at Hudu.com
