Weekly highlight: Workspace ONE Access Services updates coming - Refreshed People Search Setup with Added Support for Custom Attributes
- When the new console navigation is enabled in Workspace ONE Access SaaS tenants, a new user interface for People Search configuration provides administrators with a step-by-step setup flow. Once the People Search setup is completed, the People Search page shows cards that display summary and sync status information. The summary card allows administrators to view the directory that People Search is associated with and the user attributes that are mapped in that directory. The sync status card allows administrators to see the progress of current synchronizations, force manual photo synchronizations, modify photo sync frequencies, and view sync logs.
- Improved User Groups Management UI
- When you use the new navigation and the re-designed look of the Workspace ONE Access console, you will see a refreshed look of the Accounts > User Groups pages. There are specific functional changes to the interface that will help you manage groups more efficiently.
- Now you can assign roles to the group from the User Group > individual group page.
- Groups can be sorted in ascending/descending order and filtered by name from the groups listings page.
- Pagination was added to the User Group list page to improve scrolling.
- Refreshed Login Preferences Page
- When you use the new navigation and the re-designed look of the Workspace ONE Access console, you will see a refreshed Login Preferences page under Settings > Login Preferences. To change settings, the admin clicks on the Edit button at the header. Each field now has a tooltip with helper text to help understand how the setting is used.

Workspace ONE Hub Services updates coming - People Search Custom Attributes
- People Search was originally built with a set of standard attributes from AD (Active Directory). With this feature, admins will now be able to configure additional attributes that might be custom to their AD implementation. End users will now be able to see more attributes that are associated with their peers such as Slack usernames, Teams accounts, etc.
- Uninstall Applications from Workspace ONE Intelligent Hub on Windows
- Users can uninstall native applications from the App Catalog on Windows Workspace ONE Intelligent Hub. Admins decide which apps users can uninstall by using the Desired State Management (DSM) flag in UEM. When the DSM flag is not enabled for an app, users are given the option to uninstall that app from the Hub catalog.
- Note: This will be supported on Hub for Windows version 22.06 and UEM version 21.11.
- For more information, refer to this Release Notes.
