• Dashboard and Activity Log pages - The previous "Entry" column is now renamed to "Entry / Target", in anticipation of upcoming activity event types where the target of the action is a resource other than an Entry. Regardless of the type of the target, this column will show its name or other meaningful identifier.

July 30, 2019

• Feature - The "User Import Page" has been updated to include identity provider support. The "Update Existing Users" toggle has been replaced by a dropdown which indicates how existing local users should be handled. If there are one or more active identity providers, there is now a "Namespace" dropdown where an identity provider can be selected. If an identity provider is selected, the emails from the CSV will be matched to users from that identity provider, and the user credentials, remote access, portal access, and groups will be updated. Identity provider users cannot be created, nor can their names be modified using the user import page (this must be done directly in "Integrations").

July 29, 2019

• Feature - Added a loading spinner and progress indicator to the CSV Export Button.

July 24, 2019

The links generated will link to a page that will list all the entries selected.

May 24, 2019

• Reports > Entry Access Audit - This new report shows you at a glance which Users have access to a given Entry, as well as whether each User's access is limited by any associated user/group schedules, or whether that User's access is "Unrestricted" (that is, no restrictions beyond the Entry's own policies deriving from its default state and its schedule, if any). As with the rest of our reports and most of our data tables, you can export the results of this audit in CSV format for further processing or offline storage.

May 23, 2019

• Users > User Management > Access and Users > Group Management - In the table used to assign Users/Groups access to Zones, each Zone is annotated with the number of Entries belonging to that Zone, with emphasis if the count is 0 - we are hoping to help you know what you're getting when you give users access.
• Reports > Activity Logs, User Activity, and Entry Activity - The maximum range for a report has been increased to 1 year (up from 30 days previously). Depending on your configuration, number of Smart Hubs, etc., it may take some time to fetch all the results for a longer range (stay tuned for optimizations that we have in the works) but the progress bar will let you know that your results are on the way.

May 20, 2019

• Date/Time selection widgets now show the Time Zone (inferred from your browser settings) used to interpret the date/time values that you enter. Internally date/time values are stored in UTC (Coordinated Universal Time), and then converted back into your local time zone for display within the Openpath Control Center.

May 10, 2019

• Hardware Dashboard - In order to handle Smart Hubs (ACUs) that have one or more expansion boards attached, Readers are now identified by port number AND expansion board number.

March 21, 2019

• Most tables throughout the Openpath Control Center now include an "Export Data" button that allows you to download a CSV-formatted file contain all of the table's data.
• Bug fix - In the Main Dashboard's Denied Access List, the displayed User is now no longer occasionally misattributed in cases where the underlying card number was not in fact associated with any User.

March 8, 2019

• Entry Management - An Entry may now be linked directly to an ACU (Smart Hub) without using any associated hardware controls (Readers, Relays, Contact Sensors, etc.) - this configuration mode can be useful in combination with Outbound Webhooks > Subscriptions > Hook Actions, where the Smart Hub will act as the processing center to trigger custom integrations upon "unlock" of a hardware-less Entry.
• Bug fix - When creating a new Entry, the default value for Entry Open Duration within Entry/Exit Hardware was temporarily lost, but is now found, restored to its intended 5-second value! (And of course as always, you can replace the default with whatever value you choose.)

March 7, 2019

• Entry Management - The overview table now includes a column showing the ACU (Smart Hub) associated with each entry, and in addition all of the table columns are now filterable and sortable.

March 6, 2019

• User Management > Credentials - The input field will no longer clear itself when entering an incorrect card number.
• Entry Management - An Entry can now be reassigned to a different ACU (and associated with controls from that ACU) in a single edit step, rather than having to first remove all controls from one ACU, save the Entry, and then re-edit the Entry to associate with the new ACU.
• Bug fix - Fixed issues with Anti-Passback reset and relinquish Zone Share buttons.
• Bug fix - Fixed issue where hovering over days on User Activity Summary page was not updating the hourly summary for that day (this has also been changed to click to activate to be more mobile friendly).

• Zone Management (Anti-Passback) - Added time unit to duration fields.
• Bug fix - Info button text is now always on top.

• Bug fix - Typing in a date or time field on the Activity Logs page is now possible and no longer causes strange behavior.

February 13, 2019

• Role Management - Added a new role specific permission under users. Without any role permissions, users do no have access to the Role Management section, nor do they have the ability to modify roles for a users under User Management. With role read permissions, users are able to view Role Management only. With role write permissions, users are able to view and edit roles in Role Management as well as add roles to users in User Management. Any roles that currently have user permissions will automatically receive corresponding role permissions (e.g. a role with user read permission, will now have role read permision). Role permissions for these roles must be explicitly removed so that there is no unexpected behavior caused by this release.
• Bug fix - Inactive (Deleted) users are filtered out from dropdown options.
• Bug fix - Remove "Choose An ACU" option from dropdown options.

February 7, 2019

• Users > User Management > Create User - When you create a new user and assign a Start Date, the implied time of day associated with that Date will be midnight (beginning of the day) in the local timezone of your web browser. Previously the implied time would be the current time of day at which you created the user, which led to unexpected results when, say, creating a user at 5:30pm today with a Start Date of tomorrow, because then the user's access would not become active until 5:30pm tomorrow, after your business day had likely finished already. With this change, such a new user would instead become active at 12:00am tomorrow, in time for the full business day. In a subsequent update we'll provide direct control and visibility over the time portion of the Start Date and End Date.

February 5, 2019

• Anti-Passback - Head over to Sites > Zone Management > Edit Zone, where you'll find a new Anti-Passback configuration tab. Here you can define prescribed movement flows that Users must follow as they traverse your Entries. For instance, you could arrange that Users must transit a designated exit door before they are able to again pass through an entrance door. Among other things, this prevents Users from sharing their credential(s) to allow multiple people to pass through an entrance using a single credential. Check out the tooltips in the Anti-Passback tab for more information about the variety of configuration options, which support everything from straightforward in/out flows to complex multi-step movement flows.
  • hiddenIf: HIDE_ANTI_PASSBACK_TAB
• Bug fix - In Administration > Billing > Subscriptions, the "Save" button was inadvertently grayed out for the "Monthly" plan if you had never selected and saved a plan previously. This is now fixed - but we still recommend the "Annual" plan as the best deal!

February 4, 2019

• Forced-Open Events - This new functionality allows you to detect, and optionally alert, when a door (or any other Entry) opens without having occurred during either an authorized unlock request (from the outside / secured side) or a request-to-exit event (from the inside / unsecured side). First, to enable detection of forced-open events, head over to the Contact Sensor section for one of your Entries under Sites > Entry Management, and toggle on the "Forced-Open Detection" slider. (Note that in order to avoid false forced-open detections when the Entry is opened from the inside / unsecured side, you will need to have a request-to-exit (REX) device that is wired to the Openpath ACU (Smart Hub) and configured in the Entry's settings.) Then, to enable email or SMS alerts for forced-open events, navigate to Administration > Alert Settings and enable the "Entry Forced Open" alert type, and enter the email or SMS of your desired recipients. Finally, to enable custom integrations, you can head to Integrations > Outbound Webhooks > Subscriptions and create a subscription for the "entry.forcedOpen" Hook Event type.

January 31, 2019

• Integrations > Identity Providers - When auto-assigning groups, you can choose to "auto-remove users from groups". If selected, users will be removed from groups on each sync if the user no longer exists in the mapped identity provider group. This feature is helpful if you want to keep your Openpath groups hard-synchronized with Identity Provider groups, so as users are removed from your Identity Provider groups, they will be removed from your Openpath groups.
• Bug fix - Mobile credential end time is no longer required
• Bug fix - You can now select the checkboxes next to users for bulk actions

January 28, 2019

• Sites > Entry Management - The Request to Exit configuration option for Active Low State (enabled/disabled) has been replaced with a choice of Normally Closed / Normally Open. This is a terminology change only to improve clarity; the underlying functional behavior has not changed.
• Sites > Zone Management - The Zone overview table now show User Count and Group Count, giving you a quick summary of the access permissions associated with each Zone.

January 21, 2019

• Administration > Alert Settings - Alerts can now be configured to be sent via SMS (normal carrier charges apply) to US-based mobile phone numbers, in addition to email delivery.

January 16, 2019

• Integrations > Outbound Webhooks > Subscriptions - Subscriptions can now be configured in either blocking or non-blocking mode, giving you the option (with blocking mode) to have a subscription act as a gate at a certain step of the handling of, for instance, an unlock request.

January 15, 2019

• Administration > Email Alerts - New alert types are now available to keep you informed in real-time of potential problems in your physical access environment: Entry Ajar, Entry Authentication Failure, Entry Authorization Failure, and Entry Unlock Failure.
• Integrations > Outbound Webhooks > Subscriptions - Several new event types have been added to give your API receiver of choice the ability to receive detailed information about unlock and other event processing at the Smart Hub (ACU), including entry.ajar.started, entry.ajar.ended, entry.authenticated, entry.authenticated.failed, entry.authorized, entry.authorized.failed, entry.unlocked, and entry.unlocked.failed.

January 8, 2019

• User Management - Deleted users can now be viewed, by selected Deleted in the Status Filter drop-down menu. In addition, Deleted users can now be restored to Active status, by selecting one or more Deleted users, and then clicking "Change Status To" to choose a new status.

December 14, 2018

• User Management > Credentials - This section has a new look! And it's easier to manage and view credentials.

November 19, 2018

• Mobile Gateway - This is a new suite of functionality that enables frictionless integration with third-party access control systems, in which an Openpath ACU acts as a gateway between Openpath Mobile or card credentials, and the other system. You can now configure the Openpath ACU to emit a Wiegand ID from one of the ACU's Wiegand ports, which can then be received by the third-party system and processed exactly as if that system had been presented directly with a Wiegand card credential. You'll find the relevant controls in the Wiegand section of an Entry's page under Sites > Entry Management, and in the Card: Wiegand ID credential type on the Users > User Management > Credentials page. Mobile Gateway provides three modes, which can be used in combination: 1) Pass-Through, where Wiegand credentials arriving at the Openpath ACU are passed to the output port directly, without authentication or authorization, so that those decisions are left fully to the other system; 2) Generic Gateway, where user unlock attempts are authenticated and authorized at the Openpath ACU using any valid Openpath credential, and then subsequently a default Wiegand ID is sent to the other system; and 3) User-specific Gateway, where each user has an associated Credential of the Card: Wiegand ID type that has been designated as "Use for Gateway", which will then be sent to the other system after that user's unlock attempt is authenticated and authorized.

October 30, 2018

• Add a user from an existing org - If you'd like to add a user that is already in the system, such as from an installer account, you can now add them using their email and namespace (they will have to give that to you) on the Create User page.

October 29, 2018

• User Management > Credentials - For Card: Wiegand ID credentials (that is, low-frequency RFID cards), we now explicitly designate the card format, which controls how individual component fields (such as Facility Code and Card ID) are encoded into the final bit-level representation of the card number that is used within the access control system. To start, we support a handful of popular formats, including Prox 26-bit (H10301), Prox 37-bit (H10302), Prox 37-bit with Facility Code (H10304), and Prox 35-bit Corporate 1000 (H5XXXX). If you have cards using a different format, please reach out and let our support team know as we will be adding support for additional formats frequently. In addition, there is a Raw 64-bit format you can use to represent any card number that doesn't fit one of our built-in formats.

• We've made it easier to assess and monitor your configurations at a glance, by showing counts of relevant associated resources in overview tables: the Groups table and Roles table now show a User Count, and the Sites table shows a Zone Count. These are in addition to the Zones table which continues to show an Entry Count.
• If you are integrating with an identity provider to sync users (i.e., GSuite, MSAzureAD, Okta), the sync can fail for various reasons. We bubble that up to you in a banner so if that happens, you know about it and can take proper action.

• Okta - This new identity provider integration allows you to connect Openpath to your Okta organization, allowing you to automatically synchronize users and provision mobile access credentials for them. In order to configure the Okta integration, you need to have an API Key from Okta, and an API URL, which will be your organization's Okta domain name, for example "https://yourcompany.okta.com". We recommend creating an API Key associated with a service user/administration in your Okta organization that has only the Okta "Group" role.
• Single Sign-On (SSO) - For GSuite or MS Azure AD, you can enable SSO so users with admin access will authenticate to the portal through your identity provider.

• Hardware > ACU Management - The overview table now shows the ACU Serial number: this will match the number printed on the label that is affixed to the physical ACU board.
• Dashboards > Hardware - The Hardware Dashboard now shows the ACU Serial number, and also includes a Remote Diagnostics section for both ACUs and Readers that allows you to send diagnostic commands to help identify devices and verify connectivity. The "Identify" function will light the LEDs and beep the buzzer for a Reader, or briefly flash the center LED for an ACU. The "Refresh" function will instruct an ACU to instantaneously send updated data to appear on the dashboard page. This allows you both to see the very latest status information, as well as implicitly check that the ACU is online and responsive; if the ACU is properly online, you will see the Last Reported timestamp update shortly after clicking the "Refresh" button. Please note that the Remote Diagnostics functionality requires a recent version of ACU software; if you don't see Remote Diagnostics on your dashboard yet, rest assured it will appear when your ACU(s) receive the next software auto-update.

• Touch unlock - A new set of Trigger Methods related to Touch unlock are now available and currently enabled in the default "Convenience" Entry State, and can also be configured in any of your custom Entry States. Touch unlock allows an authorized user, carrying a mobile phone with an Openpath Mobile Access credential and within Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) range of an Openpath Smart Reader, to unlock the associated Entry by lightly touching the reader or by passing their hand directly in front of it. In order to use Touch unlock you must have a Touch-enabled Openpath Smart Reader, and a Touch-enabled version of the Openpath Mobile Access application; speak with your Openpath representative for details.

• Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) - The Profile page (accessible from the user icon near the upper right) now includes a Security tab that allows you to enable and manage Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) options. MFA is highly recommended as an additional security layer, protecting your account from unauthorized access even if an attacker obtains your username and password. Currently supported MFA options include Google Authenticator and any similar application that uses the standard Time-based One-Time Password (TOTP) algorithm.

April 11, 2018

• Entry States - Three new default Entry States, and the ability to create your own customized Entry States, are now available to help you manage what types of access methods are allowed to unlock your entries. The new default states are Convenience (all access methods allowed), Standard Security (most mobile access methods, and cards supported by Openpath readers), and Strict Security (only interactive 2FA onsite mobile access, and encrypted smartcards). These states replace the previous One-Factor and Two-Factor entry states as well as the separate enable/disable of Remote Unlock - remote unlock methods are now managed within entry states. You can create your own customized Entry States by definining a granular list of access methods that should be allowed. As always, you can use entry schedules to manage the behavior of your entries by assigning them to different Entry States at different times of day.

This allows you to send temporary access links via email or messaging app to someone who is not a regular Openpath user so that they can unlock one of your entries under the conditions you specify. It also allows you to integrate with 3rd-party API-based automation services that can programatically make web requests, so that that service can trigger unlock of your entries.

March 12, 2018
