Primo Changelog
We shipped a few highly requested improvements to MDM in Primo:
OS updates are no longer forced during Zero Touch Deployment
During ZTD, OS updates will no longer be triggered automatically. Employees can now go through device setup without interruptions, and update their computer when it makes sense for them.
This makes onboarding faster, smoother, and much less frustrating on day one.
More Linux MDM Controls
We also expanded Linux support with new Controls, including:
- USB blocking
- WiFi configuration
And this is just the start, more Linux and Android controls are coming soon!
You can now manage software directly in Primo, without switching tools. This update brings two things: a clearer view of what’s installed across your fleet, and a brand new way to keep apps up to date.
App patching
Primo now lets you enable auto-patching per app, so updates are handled automatically. From any software page, you can turn on patching to:
- keep installers up to date
- automatically roll out new versions
- use install scripts when needed
It makes it much easier to stay secure and reduce manual update work.
Install apps from Primo
You can also deploy new apps directly from Primo. We currently support Fleet Maintained Apps on macOS and Windows, with control over:
- targeting (device groups, specific devices, or all devices)
- self service availability
- install scripts
See what’s installed, at a glance
Finally, the Software section now shows what’s installed and where, with versions, filtering, and custom views to track the apps that matter most.
Coming soon: custom packages, and App Store apps for iOS, iPadOS, and Android.
Make your SaaS directory easier to navigate and act on with tags!
Tags are now available on all SaaS apps Primo discovers through SaaS Mapping and the Chrome extension. You can add and edit tags manually to group tools by team, owner, sensitivity, risk level, and more.
If you want Primo to do this for you, you can enable AI auto-tagging in Settings, SaaS tab. Primo will then review your existing and newly discovered apps and automatically apply the most relevant tags.
Once your apps are tagged, you can filter by tag, create focused views for audits or renewals, and spot security risks much faster.
