Trying to get a handle on Microsoft Store installs. Microsoft Store apps can be blocked via GPO however there are many gaps around this. For example, using the web browser to go to Microsoft store. https://www.reddit.com/r/Intune/comments/1e44bkb/ms_store_block_bypassed_via_browser/Is there a way to block Msix files from installing in Beyond Trust? maybe prevent them from running from downloads folder? 

Can we scan the servers that are hosted in azure using the Master key rather than asking user to create individual accounts for discovery. If Yes what is the process?

We have several systems that, when viewing analytics/events there is no event activity reported on these systems. Yet if we view them in our RMM tool we see plenty of activity that should be appearing in analytics/events. What would be the best steps to take to address this issue?

Hi Experts! We’re slowly growing our user base in the Password Safe pilot we’re running. Since last week, non of our users are able to see their T0 accounts.The administrators were able to search for the accounts in the Password Safe module last week, but since Friday the cap of 1000 accounts were reached. Any suggestion on how to make the accounts visable? We have them as managed accounts in the managed accounts module, and they’re picked up by the smart rules that are identical to T2 and T1 accounts. We run a tierd model where rdp access is granted on T2, local/server admin is granted on T1 and domain admin is granted on T0. So each user can have up to 3 personal accounts per domain. Best regards,Joakim Andersson

Dear Team,I need your assistance with onboarding an MSSQL database into Password Safe using the application-based method (credential injection or API-based access). The goal is to allow applications to retrieve SQL Authentication credentials from Password Safe, rather than directly onboarding the database as a managed system.Could you please provide the relevant documentation, configuration guidelines, and example .ini files needed to set this up?Additionally, we would like to configure this setup for the following RDS (Remote Desktop Services) server environment: [Include your RDS server requirements or details here if applicable] Your guidance on the setup process, including best practices for securely retrieving and managing SQL credentials through the application, would be highly appreciated. 

Hello Experts, One of my customer unable to see the submit request to check out the password from PAM. what could be the issue and how to trouble shoot this.

We are looking to create a script that will use the Password Safe API calls to link a managed account to a managed system.  Not finding many examples on this.  Trying to follow the API doc’s but it is not clear in those which API calls to use.  Wondering if someone has does this already and willing to share some information how they did it?  Can easily get the list of managed systems, but not sure which call is the correct to link the managed account

Hi everyone, Does anyone know how to automate downloading and sending elevation report in EPM PMC ?Can it be done using API? If yes, then how?If there is any KB articles related to this, please share.

Hi All,  Currently I’m going through the EPM install / onboard process and was wondering if there is a way to give users local admin rights to install applications on the fly. Some installers just have so many commands to whitelist that this isn’t feasible during a 1 time install. I was hoping for like a “just in time” setup to raise full admin however, the on-prem version doesn’t include JIT setup only the cloud does. How have others accomplish this without the need to whitelist every individual command line?

We are currently running our operations through BeyondTrust PAM for each asset. However, some team members are facing an issue where the session is not visible and does not display anything.

Hi,Could someone please help with the issue not prompting for creds when opening admin terminal.BT version is 25.2

Idea is to have an option to extend already submitted active session up to the default time limit. Currently there's no such option and the only way is to terminate current session and start a new one.https://beyondtrust-public.ideas.aha.io/ideas/T2PSM-I-1817Do you have similar situation by any chance? You can share your experience or vote for an idea if you find it useful.Cheers,Thanks & Regards,Sathya

We currently use shared Role Identities as managed accounts to reduce the number of Admin accounts and as a way to enforce RBAC. As those accounts are not owned by specific users, they cannot be registered for MFA by individual users, and therefore the MFA requirement had to be disabled on the managed assets for the Role Identities, which is less secure (in case a Role ID is compromised) and against our policies.We would very much like to see a feature added to Password Safe allowing it to respond to 3rd party MFA challenges automatically, when establishing privileged sessions with the shared Role Identities.https://beyondtrust-public.ideas.aha.io/ideas/T2PSM-I-1808 Do you have similar situation by any chance? You can share your experience or vote for an idea if you find it useful.Cheers,Thanks & Regards,
