Release notes — Cayosoft Administrator v13
New features
Manager-based Family Groups for Microsoft 365
Family Groups now support manager-based membership rules in Microsoft 365. Select a manager and set the included hierarchy levels to build a Family Group by recursively reviewing the reporting hierarchy. To enable flat distribution list scenarios, use the option to treat the top manager as the direct manager for all nested subordinates. Query and post-query filters let you refine membership further.
Dynamic Group membership by manager hierarchy for Microsoft 365
Dynamic Groups now support hierarchy-based membership rules for cloud distribution and security groups. Set inclusion and exclusion rules to automatically populate a group with users reporting to the specified manager; configure the management hierarchy depth and additional query filters to further customize the group. This brings the Direct reports rule to Microsoft 365, replacing PowerShell workarounds and on-prem group syncing (previously known as the 'Employees under manager' rule).
Account expiration date on new user creation
The new user wizard for AD users now includes an Account Expires field in the Settings step. Set expiration dates for contractor and temporary accounts at provisioning time instead of editing each account after creation. The chosen date is logged in Change History; the field visibility is managed via Attribute Policies.
Kerberos delegation management for computers and users
A new Delegation tab in Properties web actions for AD users and AD computers provides full Kerberos delegation configuration from the web portal. Toggle between no delegation, unconstrained, or constrained delegation (Kerberos-only or protocol transition), and manage allowed SPNs within Web Portal. All changes are logged in Change History; the tab visibility is managed via Attribute Policies and role-based delegation scopes.
Automatic Microsoft 365 license cache updates
Cayosoft Administrator now updates license cache automatically on session start, eliminating manual updates and daily Licensing Change Detected notifications. The legacy Licensing Change Detection rule is deprecated; existing Attribute Policies are preserved through the migration. The manual update button remains available for on-demand updates.
