To lock screen unless cancelled from mobile, or 2. To remind user to lock screen through mobile.   ![Graphical user interface, website Description automatically generated](https://blog.truu.ai/hubfs/Google%20Drive%20Integration/Q4%20Product%20Blog-Dec-19-2020-01-28-31-36-AM.png)   This represents an incredible leap forward from a security perspective in that computers will now auto-lock within a few minutes of the user walking away from their computer as compared to the typical 30 minutes before auto-lock policies kick in due to idle time from group policy settings. ##### **Delegated Administration** In working with our customers through their deployments of TruU, we’ve found that our existing Role Based Access Control did not provide enough granularity for how our customers manage the systems that our platform integrates with.  We’ve had RBAC in the product for years with pre-defined Administrative Roles: - Super Admins, - Read-Only Admins, - Digital Admins, and - Physical Admins Now, with our Delegated Administration feature, we start with these same 4 pre-defined Administrative Roles but give Super Admins the ability to modify all permissions and entitlements based on what is needed for their organization.  Super Admins can now modify administrative rights for the pre-defined Roles, and / or add entirely new roles.  Once the Roles are created, they can be assigned to Admin users as needed. ![Graphical user interface, text, application, email Description automatically generated](https://blog.truu.ai/hubfs/Google%20Drive%20Integration/Q4%20Product%20Blog-Dec-19-2020-01-28-31-71-AM.png) This feature gives our customers the ability to scope administrative rights based on: (i) functional areas, and (ii) specific adapters.  These rights are fully enforced through an authorities framework in the TruU back-end and through the UI itself (e.g. if an Admin is only allowed to administer a specific SSO adapter, then he/she can’t select “All Adapters” when applying policies for authentication). ##### **More Robust Physical Security** For our physical security customers, we’ve made major improvements for how we integrate with the Lenel Physical Access Control System, and how we add and configure LEAF readers. **Improved Lenel Integration** For our customers deploying TruU for physical access with integration with Lenel, we’ve made two big improvements to our Lenel Adapter: 1. Simplified deployment and management are now possible through an Installer that removes the need to setup IIS and use certificates to install the Lenel Adapter. ![Graphical user interface Description automatically generated](https://blog.truu.ai/hubfs/Google%20Drive%20Integration/Q4%20Product%20Blog-Dec-19-2020-01-28-30-49-AM.png) 2. Explicit attribute mapping for matching Lenel users to directory users with complete flexibility to use any attribute from directory (as opposed to requiring UPN to match users). ![Graphical user interface, application Description automatically generated](https://blog.truu.ai/hubfs/Google%20Drive%20Integration/Q4%20Product%20Blog-Dec-19-2020-01-28-31-17-AM.png)   **Adding and Configuring LEAF Readers** For TruU customers using readers that support the LEAF standard (e.g. WaveLynx readers), we have released an iOS app for Admins to configure those readers for use with TruU.  The app allows Admins to change the keys for the readers and to automatically register the readers with the TruU Identity Platform.   ![Graphical user interface, application Description automatically generated](https://blog.truu.ai/hubfs/Google%20Drive%20Integration/Q4%20Product%20Blog-Dec-19-2020-01-28-30-03-AM.png)   Topics: [Insider](https://blog.truu.ai/tag/insider), [Blog](https://blog.truu.ai/tag/blog) ### Insights & Updates Keep up with the latest in identity technology We’re committed to your privacy.
