ADEM Self-Serve
ADEM now offers end-user notifications for issues that they can resolve directly. With ADEM Self Serve, when end users experience issues with either application experience, device usage, WiFi, or internet connectivity, they get a notification on their desktop. The notification indicates what the issue is and guides them with one or more possible solutions that they can use to resolve the issue on their own. This enhances user productivity and has the potential to reduce the number of IT tickets. Clicking in the notification opens the Application Experience user interface which provides more details on the issue.

Prisma Access is being transitioned to the Prisma SASE Platform to provide these benefits. As a part of this transition, you may experience a difference in the steps to access Prisma Access. For details, see Transition to the Prisma SASE Platform.

Support for Selecting Mobile User Groups
When creating synthetic tests, you now have the option to enable the test on an individual Mobile User or on a Mobile User group or both. You can enable tests only on existing groups that are used in security policies. The tests that you enable on a user group will run on all devices that belong to every single user in that group. You cannot select only certain devices on which to run the test. If a user is removed from a user group, the tests will automatically stop running on the user’s devices. When new users are added to a group, the tests will automatically be run on the new user’s device(s). The test results can be filtered by individual Mobile Users or Mobile User groups (only groups currently in test configuration).
The following UI pages have been updated to support this feature:
  • New App Test page approached from the Applications page.
    Under the Source section, for Mobile Users, a new Custom option has been added which allows you to select either a single Mobile User or a Mobile User group or both.
  • A new filter called Mobile User Groups has been added on the following pages:
    • Settings
    • Applications
    • Mobile Users

New Features in April 2022
Mobile User changesThe following UI changes have been made with respect to the Mobile User devices:
  • Summary page
    The widget for Experience Score for Top Monitored Mobile User Devices displays a separate card for each of the User/Device combination along with the device and hostname details.
  • Monitored Mobile Users page
    Monitored Users are now defined as the unique number of User/Device combination. For example, if 2 users are logged in to 3 devices each, the Devices count will display as 6 and the Users count will display as 2. Likewise, if 2 users are using the same device, the Devices count will display 1 and the Users count will display 2. The Monitored Mobile Users Devices table on the Monitored Mobile Users page displays each User/Device combination as a separate row, hence the user name could be duplicated across multiple rows depending on the number of devices he/she is logged in to.
  • Mobile User Details page
    In the Monitored Mobile Users Devices table on the Monitored Mobile Users page table, when you click on a user who has logged into multiple devices, the ensuing Mobile User Details page lists all devices for the selected user. Each unique User/Device combination is represented in a separate card. You can view the details of only one device at a time by selecting its card. The details in the widgets that follow will be displayed for the device card you select.
Autonomous DEM Agent Installer Available on the CSP
You can now download the Autonomous DEM agent installation package from the Customer Support Portal. This allows you to upgrade your ADEM agent without having to upgrade your GlobalProtect app.
You can deploy Autonomous DEM agent that you download from the CSP to your endpoints using the same methods you would deploy the GlobalProtect app:
  • For Windows endpoints, you can obtain the update by navigating to Software Updates in the Customer Support Portal. Search for GlobalProtect Autonomous DEM for Windows64.
