    Feature
    Description
    Onboarding ValidationsUsers can now check onboarding status that validates if the connector has onboarded successfully and fetched sample assets and user activities. Failures are reported with appropriate errors so that quick actions can be taken reducing troubleshooting time significantly. These validations are launched for the Office 365 and Microsoft Teams connectors.
    Gmail restricted permissionsGmail connector now uses limited privileges. The onboarding user can be a custom admin (not a super admin). The application in Google Marketplace also requests for limited permissions only. You can create custom admin roles to reduce permissions for already deployed connectors.
    Australia POPSaaS Security is now available in Australia region for our customers.
    Tenant-level visibility and control for SaaS Security Inline
    For certain discovered applications, SaaS Security Inline can now detect the specific application tenants that users are accessing. SaaS Security Inline uses this new capability to provide you with visibility and control at the tenant level for the supported applications.
    • A new Tenant Details view displays details about individual application tenants. You can navigate to the Tenant Details view from the Discovered Applications view or the Discovered Users view. The Tenants column for these views shows the number of application instances or tenants that were accessed. Click on the number of tenants to go to the Tenant Details view.
    • You can now submit policy rule recommendations at the tenant level. These policy rules, if committed on the firewall, will affect only the application tenants identified in the policy recommendation. For example, you might create a SaaS policy rule recommendation to block downloads from Box for one tenant only.
