New Features and Upgrades

Barracuda RMM’s new internal script editor lets you write and edit scripts directly in the Automation Library without leaving Barracuda RMM.

See Adding a Script to Barracuda RMM.

Changes and Improvements to Automation

You can now cancel scheduled automation tasks that have the status of Pending on the calendar. Tasks will appear on the calendar and Execution results as "Cancelled by user".

See Canceling and Deleting Automated Tasks.

Schedule and Run Now Available from the Automation Library page

You can now schedule or immediately run scripts, automation packages and quick tasks from the Automation Library page.

See To schedule or immediately run a script, automation package or quick task in Viewing Scripts, Automation Packages, and Quick Tasks.

IP Range Restriction

Administrators can now restrict Barracuda RMM log ins to a specific range of IP addresses, preventing users outside that address range from logging in. This provides additional security by preventing unauthorized users from accessing Service Center.

For more information, see Configuring IP Ranges Allowed to Log In.

User History

The IP addresses of user log ins are now displayed for user history entries.

If a user attempts to log in from an IP address that is not in the allowed list, a user history is created stating a log in was blocked, with the user name and the IP address of the attempted log in.

See About User Histories.
