BMS (v4.0.40) - Jan 2021

This release includes new features, enhancements, and fixes.

New Features

OAuth for Microsoft Inbound Email

PSA supports OAuth2.0 authentication for Microsoft IMAP connections. This enhancement is related to inbound email capability and is in response to Microsoft's lifecycle announcement, in which they indicate that they will begin deprecating basic authentication in October 2021. For more information, see OAuth 2.0 for Microsoft O365.

Dedicated Integration Account

A dedicated user type has been introduced to enable MSPs to use the API for OAuth based application integration without having to consume a paid license. Under HR > Employee it is called 'API Employee.' This user will only be able to authenticate to the API, they will not be able to login to the user interface. For more information, see Dedicated API integration account in PSA.

Asset Health Report

Ad Hoc Reporting now includes a report on asset health, which includes an overall score based on disk utilization and operating system type, and a ticket overview for the account. For more information, see Working with Asset Health Report.
