As always, we recommend testing this version in a development environment before upgrading your production environment.

New Features

Fine Grained Permissions for Scripts

You can now use the permission system to assign scripts directly to identities and roles. We’ve also provided a new way to control which pages in the admin console are visible to users. You can find more documentation here.

Gauge Chart

You can use the new Gauge component for PowerShell Universal apps. It is built using the integrated MUI React library used by the rest of the platform.

Textbox Masking

We’ve implemented textbox masking for PowerShell Universal apps.

New-UDTextbox -Id 'textbox16' -MaskPattern '+7 (000) 000-00-00'

Improve Module Connections

The Universal module now provides better management of the connection to the PowerShell Universal server. The new -Scope parameter allows for runspace-scoped connections and a new Disconnect-PSUServer cmdlet allows you to disconnect from the server. Connect-PSUServer now supports basic authentication and the -Credential parameter.

Connect-PSUServer -ComputerName localhost -Scope Runspace
Disconnect-PSUServer

C# Reference and Using Support

C# APIs now support references and using for namespaces.

#ref System.Net.Http
#using System.Management.Automation

return new ApiResponse {

};

Login Page Horizontal Layout

You can now configure the login page to be horizontal. This is useful for larger screens.
