group policy assignment not the same

We currently have a support group linked with a group policy and in turn session policy where the group policy is updated with members through SAML import from our EntraID. This generates the authorized access for all the members in this support group to all our devices. I'm currently trying to set up another group where we have only a few members in that gets access granted to devices that are allowed unattended access meaning no prompt when taking over the device. However whatever I apply and change, the account that is in the main SAML import group and now added to the unattended access policy as well, keeps the prompt when taking over the device and it seems that the main support group keeps overruling the unattended policies. Done some digging and when I use a local account (actual BT consol) and when entering this user account, I have a nice overview in the membership detail with priority. However when I look in the account that is imported through SAML, I don't see this overview

PRA web jump credential injection times out

Hello, we have set up PRA web jump for multiple websites including some Cisco device GUIs. With Cisco DNA / Catalyst center website it is timing out. This website uses HTML tags that change for each page refresh. Based on the jump point logs , PRA successfully detects the tags for username, password and submit button but at the end it gives credential injection timed out error. We have the timeout set to max value of 30 seconds. PRA version is 23.1.2. If we select no credential the website opens fine as PRA web jump. I can log in by manually entering the password. The webpages before and after login are different\. (I see a KB that says it may timeout of URL doesnt chnage after password injection). I read in another post that the ‘inject credentials in current URL’ doesn’t work for web-jumps .Is there any workaround method using PRA. Like RDP to a server , open browser and click on inject creds button. Or anything needs to be changed in web jump backend config on jump-point which can p

BT jump client post install tags and possible other options

In our situation we currently create 1 BT jump client MSI installer which we then package and add to our Intune environment for deployment on all our workstations (approx 40k) From the consol perspective it is then just 1 big pool of devices and all our IT and support presentatives can access the workstations where required to provide the needed support. We are currently reviewing this strategy to reduce this visibility initiating RBAC like we also do in our Intune environment where many especially device visibilities are reduced due to applying scope tags and in turn apply security groups which limits the views of our IT. This of course is something we should/could do in BT, however there is no such rule or something available that if device starts with USLT or DELT it will be assigned to X group policy/session policy and then linked to the allowed representative and learned that this is initiated through the client itself hosting the tags and optionsWe've learned that you can add tag

PRA Failover configuration on AWS provision appliances

Has anyone had any challenges When configuring Failover with a shared IP on AWS Cloud host Manager appliances. We previously had Virtual appliance provisioned in VMWare (Failover configuration worked properly) and moved to AWS cloud host, since then Failover configuration does not seem to work. Wonder if we should have any additional setting in AWS or if there are any caveats to the Failover settings in Cloud-hosted PRA appliances.

Domain user prompted for credentials on web jump

We have an in/out board application we want to present to domain users through beyondtrust when offsite. In testing the user logs in to beyondtrust with domain credentials, and then is prompted again 2x on the website.  Internally it tries sso with logged in user, then prompts if user not found. Is there way to run the web jump as the domain user that logged into PRA so they don’t have to re-enter username and password?  Or any other way around that?

Input file for btapi tool

Hi, I’m alooking for some example around the btapi.exe usage. Command lines are pretty understandable and usable with options and arguments but I don’t know the file format for inputs. Apparently we can use json format or key=value format but I have never been succeeded to provide inputs to command as “add user”.If somebody can provide me a json file example to create local users through btapi it will be wonderful :)

PRA Cloud-hosted vs on-prem

Has anyone moved from cloud-hosted PRA instance to on-prem virtual or physical appliance ? or vice-versa. Was there any significant difference noticed on remote access session performance - jump clients , RDP using JumPoint. I know many factors will impact this but lets say PRA user and remote server both are on-prem and PRA appliance is moved from cloud to on-prem. Theoretically, there should be performance improvement. Trying to see if this is worth the time and effort , if someone has already done it :-)

PRA Console on Ubuntu Freezing When Retrieving Credentials

On Ubuntu 24.04, the PRA console freezes when attempting to load the credential injection screen. When this happens, the process becomes completely unresponsive, requiring a manual termination. I’ve tested multiple PRA versions, and the issue occurs in all of them. Is anyone else experiencing this behavior, or does anyone know how to fix it?
