New features

The following are the new features and improvements we released across the Cerby platform:

  • Potential partners, external collaborators, and developers brace yourselves! We’ve made one of the first moves toward opening the Cerby platform to you. The Cerby developer portal is now live, providing you with the tools and resources to build powerful integrations.
    The following are the available collections in our public API, and we’re aiming for more in 2025:

    We can’t wait for you to start building innovative and powerful solutions with our public API and Cerby CLI.

  • You know we’ve been partners with Okta to secure nonstandard applications for more than one year. Well, our collaboration keeps bearing more fruit!
    We’re excited to announce Extended account access, a feature that enables organizations to enjoy a seamless login experience to their disconnected apps from Okta powered by Cerby's automation. If you want to centralize access in your identity provider (IdP) instead of using an additional external dashboard, look no further.
    Just extend your Cerby accounts to your Okta dashboard, and let the Cerby browser extension do all the heavy lifting of autofilling the login credentials and verification codes when Cerby manages two-factor authentication (2FA).

    For more information, read the article Explore Extended account access. Figure 1 shows how your accounts are displayed as chiclets in the Okta dashboard.

  • Do you think you’ve had enough big news? Keep reading and get ready for a mic drop.

    We’ve built and released Scout by Cerby, a browser extension aiming to help you expand your app ecosystem quickly. This extension works on demand to capture your interactions on a web page so that the Cerby development team has all the information they need to automate your manual user workflows:

    • Log in to your account

    • Update your account's password

    • Turn on 2FA

    • Invite a user to your app

    • Remove a user from your app

    • Update a user's role in your app

    Currently, Scout is privately listed in the Chrome Web Store. If you want to take a peek, see how the extension looks in Figure 2. For more information, read the article Explore Scout.

Cerby web app

Check out what’s new in our Cerby web app:

  • Ever heard about forgetting a password? We know it happens, and that’s why workspace Admins can now reset the password of a guest user. Here’s how you can do it:

    1. Select the All members option in the left navigation drawer.

    2. Activate the Guest tab.

    3. Click the More options () icon.

    4. Select the Force Password Reset option from the drop-down list.

  • If you manage complex and numerous permissions through a Cerby business hub, we have good news! We’ve added a scroll interaction to the list of app roles displayed in the Members tab of the business hub details page. That way you can navigate through them seamlessly.

  • Business hub Owners can now move users from the Exempted table back to Unmatched users. This action can be performed from the Members tab in the business hub details page as follows:

    1. Activate the Exempted table.

    2. Click the More options () icon of the corresponding user.

    3. Select the Remove exemption option.

    4. Click the Confirm button.

  • All accounts, including business hubs, now have the Copy bookmark URL button available on the account details page. With this URL, you can trigger automated logins with the Cerby browser extension from the dashboard of your identity provider (IdP).

Cerby browser extension

Explore the latest features in our Cerby browser extension:

  • We’ve improved the login experience for your accounts with two features:

    • After a successful login to our extension, we now close the browser tab we open for the process. This way, you can get back to what you were doing. If the login is unsuccessful, we keep the browser tab open so you can retry.

    • The account details screen in the Cerby browser extension popup now displays the 2FA Code section and a Copy () icon so you can copy the verification codes without navigating to an additional screen.

Fixes

Take note of the issues addressed and resolved by the Development team behind the Cerby platform:

  • The issue with workspace Super Admins being unable to see the items shared with a team, even when they are not part of the team, was fixed.

Cerby web app

  • The issue with not displaying the More options drop-down list for a guest user invited to a business hub is fixed. Now, you can perform actions such as removing guest users through the Members tab of the business hub details page.

  • The issue with not redirecting users to the corresponding team from the Teams tab of the user details page was fixed. Users were redirected to the main Teams view after selecting the View team option in the More options drop-down list.

  • The issue with not displaying accounts shared via a public link in the Activity view was fixed.

  • The issue with not redirecting users to the secret details page when opening a secret from an email message was fixed. Cerby sends an email whenever a user shares a secret, and it contains a button to open the secret.

  • The issue with not displaying the More options drop-down list of a secret within an expanded collection in the Collections view was fixed.

  • The issue with being unable to connect a business hub when selecting different vaults for the business hub account and automation account was fixed.

  • The issue with not preserving the text inputs when moving back or forward in the wizard for connecting a business hub was fixed.

  • The issue with being able to update the YouTube Studio Owner role of a user in the Members tab of the business hub details page was fixed. This action is now disabled because YouTube Studio doesn’t support updating an Owner role in any scenario.

Cerby mobile app

  • The issue with not filtering business hubs in the app catalog when adding an account via the Cerby mobile app was fixed in iOS v1.0.222.

  • The issue with displaying an account password before the user manually tapped to view it was fixed in Android v1.0.193.

  • The issue with the Cerby mobile app sometimes crashing when navigating to the Secrets screen was fixed in Android v1.0.188.
