Follow new updates and improvements to Ploy.
February 17th, 2025
To help with the rollout with Ploy across your company, we’ve also now added the ability for employees to receive a fully customisable welcome message that will be sent out before they receive any other messages. This is a great way to introduce the product, explain any new processes and send them a link to the new employee access portal.
You can configure these settings by visiting: https://app.joinploy.com/settings/messages

We’ve released 3 new quality of life improvements to today to make using Ploy just a little bit nicer 😀
You’re now also able to assign a fallback assignee in offboarding so that if an application is missing an owner or the owner is no longer active, the task will be assigned to a fallback to be completed.
You’re now also able to give your access reviews a name as well as delete test or draft access reviews to keep your audit history clean 🧼

New
We’ve now added the ability to import users via CSV into apps and resources, ensuring that Ploy becomes your single source of truth. It’s as simple as selecting a CSV with all your users and mapping the columns to the fields in Ploy.

Improved
You’re now able to add ‘Launch URLs’ to your managed access via their access policy making it easier for employees to know where to go after access has been granted. An example of a Slack message is visible below.
You are also now able to change the name that’s shown to users when access is granted to be different from the resource that’s granting access (e.g. it’s a group granting access, but it’s Miro that access is granted to).

Workflows
We’ve added a new filter option to member/employee filtering in Ploy as well as greatly improved the UI / UX to make it easier to select the right reference.
There are 2 new filter operations if you select a member reference in the multifilter node in workflows. This let’s you combine queries such as ‘does not have access to X’ and ‘is in department Y’ → ‘Add to group Z’.
One complaint we commonly got with the reference selector (e.g. picking a field/reference from a previous node in the workflow) was that it was hard to tell which field it was referencing and when, leading to multiple instances of referencing the wrong node/variable. We’ve greatly improved this UI/UX and turned it into a multi level dropdown selector where you start from the node you want to reference and work your way down to the field.

Access Policies on resources now have the ability to automatically revoke access if it’s detected that the granted access violated the approval policy.
Why do we think this is cool?:
Now regardless of where your access is granted for a resource, whether that be via your Ploy access request portal, directly inside an integration or even through another third party, if it violates your approval policy, Ploy will automatically revoke that access.
How do I enable this?:
Head to any resource in Ploy and either setup or add a new access policy and select ‘Revoke’ as the auto-enroll policy failure action:
Then just ensure you have at least one condition in your approval policy that rejects and you’re good to go!

Improved
Access Reviews
You’re now able to add individual notes to each row in an access review, allowing you to capture particular nuances that might not otherwise be obvious. They’re also included in our CSV export meaning no back and forth clarification with auditors.
You’re now also not limited to assigning a single role per account with access review, allowing you to capture those more complex permission structures present in some applications.

Improved
You’re now able to receive notifications for any important event related to an access review lifecycle to ensure you’re remaining up to date and compliant across you’re access reviews.
