“I am most pleased with the ability to centrally visualize the management status of SaaS accounts and IT assets associated with joining, leaving, or transferring within the company.

These new features give IT teams better visibility and control across apps, devices, and workflows. With new reporting capabilities and smarter automation, managing your SaaS environment just got a lot more efficient.

New Feature Releases

Audit-Ready Reports for SaaS, Licenses & Devices

The new Reporting Module in Josys unifies app usage, license data, security insights, and device inventory into a single, visual dashboard across SaaS Security, License Optimization, and Device Management. Users can switch views, export reports (CSV, XLS, PDF), and control access with RBAC.

Key reports include:

• App Discovery - View your SaaS landscape by risk and category
• Shadow Users - Identify unmanaged users and take action quickly
• App Rationalization - Detect redundant tools and optimize your stack
  ‍

Together, these insights help teams make faster, more informed decisions and strengthen SaaS governance.

‍

Unified Device View Across All Your MDM Platforms

Organizations using both Microsoft Intune for Windows devices and Jamf for Apple devices often face fragmented asset visibility across multiple systems.

Josys now integrates with any 2 MDMs (Intune, Jamf, NinjaOne etc.) at once to automatically ingest device data and bring Windows and Apple assets into a single, unified dashboard. IT admins can view inventory, track device ownership, and monitor compliance across both ecosystems without switching tools.

‍

One Prioritized Hub for Every Critical IT Action

Introducing the Action Centre, a centralized hub where IT admins can view, prioritize, and act on tasks across their SaaS environment. 

It surfaces key opportunities such as resolving shadow accounts, removing underutilized licenses, and classifying discovered apps. Each action shows the required step, associated app context, severity level, and a direct CTA (e.g., Automate, Deprovision, Classify).

Accessible via a dedicated ‘Action Center’ tab, admins can track task progress, ignore items when needed, and focus only on relevant actions.

‍

Automated Governance for Discovered Apps

Josys workflows now extend to discovered apps - automatically classifying them based on usage, risk, or compliance, and triggering actions like sending email, creating JIRA tickets, or customizing HTTP requests in real time.

This means faster response to unauthorized usage, consistent policy enforcement, and far less manual overhead for IT teams.

Note: Discovered Apps are applications automatically identified across your environment by Josys’s AI-powered discovery engine, but have not yet been integrated for governance and management.

‍

Feature Enhancements

Run Workflows Exactly When You Need It

Admins can now run onboarding and offboarding workflows before, on, or after key dates, choose the exact time of execution, and automate license optimization based on last usage.

The result is more precise, reliable automation that ensures workflows run exactly when needed, without manual intervention or missed actions.

‍

Webhooks to Trigger Automation Workflows Based on User Attributes

With Webhook-triggered workflows, Josys can now act the moment something happens in your ecosystem. Whether it’s kicking off onboarding after background verification, provisioning access when an ITSM ticket is approved, or instantly revoking access when a security threat is detected, everything happens in real time, without waiting on native triggers.

‍

Our Commitment Moving Forward

This March release represents our continued commitment to provide a more integrated and automated IT management experience. By bridging the gap between identity governance, SaaS, and device management, Josys continues to empower IT teams to work smarter and more securely.

From Shadow IT to Automated Control

Stay ahead of shadow IT, access reviews, and identity automation with the latest Josys updates.

From automatically classifying new apps and filtering Google Workspace users to improving access review automation and workflow reliability, this release helps IT teams move faster with better control.

‍

New Feature Releases

New automation workflows for newly discovered apps

New apps and shadow IT don’t have to catch you off guard.

Automatically monitor, classify, and act on newly discovered apps based on attributes like compliance, risk, and category. As adoption grows (e.g., 20+ users), Josys can notify your team, evaluate conditions, auto-approve trusted apps, and auto-block unapproved ones by triggering actions in your security provider like Cloudflare. 

No manual tracking, just real-time visibility and control.

‍

Control which users get synced from Google Workspace

Managing users in a Google Workspace tenant that is shared across multiple teams or companies can get complex.

With User Profile Filtering for Google Workspace (GWS), Josys lets you sync only the users that matter. Filter by domain or organizational unit (OU) to onboard specific teams while keeping your environment clean and focused.

Easily search and configure filters, track sync status in real time, and automatically remove excluded users - no manual cleanup needed.

‍

Expand automation with enhanced Open APIs

Josys expands its Open API capabilities to support enterprise-grade automation across identity and access management.

With new API enhancements, you can now manage different attributes like: 

• Manage ‘departments’ with full update and delete support
• Perform complete CRUD operations for ‘locations’
• Create and manage user profile custom fields via API

All endpoints are fully documented and ready to use.

Build end-to-end identity sync workflows, automate integrations with your on-prem Active Directory, and eliminate manual gaps across your environment.

‍

Enhancements

Schedule automated, recurring access reviews

Running regular access reviews is essential for strong access governance, but setting them up manually every time can slow teams down.

With Scheduled & Recurring Access Reviews, Josys automates your entire access review process: 

• Trigger reviews instantly, schedule them in advance, or run automated access reviews on a quarterly, half-yearly, or yearly basis.
• Set start dates, define frequencies, and ensure consistent access certification without repeated setup.
• Track upcoming access reviews, past runs, and next schedules all in one place.

This ensures less manual work and stronger, more consistent access governance.

‍

Segment and run targeted access reviews 

Not every access review needs to cover all users and chasing responses slows everything down.

With Josys, you can run targeted access reviews by selecting specific users based on role, department, or risk. Focus only on the accounts that matter without relying on preset categories.

Boost completion with automated reminders. Set reminder frequency, notify only pending reviewers, and define closure dates to ensure reviews are completed on time.

The result? Flexible targeting. Faster responses and completion. All leading to stronger access governance without the manual follow-up.

‍

Control unapproved app usage automatically

Employees using applications on your “unapproved” list can introduce security and compliance risks across your SaaS environment.

With Josys, you can create workflows that automatically detect unapproved app usage and send warnings to employees to stop using it. For example, if “Grok” is identified in use, a message is automatically sent to the employee that usage has been detected and they must stop using it.

‍

Retry failed workflows without rebuilding them

Workflow automation can fail due to integration issues, transient errors, or duplicate actions, often requiring manual fixes.

With Manual Retry for Failed Workflows, Josys lets you re-run failed workflow executions directly from workflow history. Once the issue is resolved, simply retry - no need to repeat actions manually.

‍

Control how user attributes sync with granular field mapping

Syncing user data from external directories shouldn’t be all-or-nothing.

With the new enhancement, Josys gives you granular control over user attribute synchronization from external identity sources. Enable or disable sync for individual fields, keep specific attributes as Josys-managed local fields, and prevent unwanted overrides.

When sync is turned off, existing values are preserved, so you don’t lose critical data during changes.
