Enabling security policies now requires current password
Valid from Pega Version 7.1.3
As part of Pega’s initiative to protect against malicious attacks, the change password dialog has been enhanced. When Security Policies have been enabled for your system, new users or those with expired passwords will now be prompted for both their existing password as well as their desired new password.
For more details, review the Designer Studio > System > Settings > Security Policies landing page.
Access Manager portal
Valid from Pega Version 7.1.5
Changes to the Access Manager simplify the process of modifying the access rights of features for an application. The changes, including creation of an Access Manager portal, make it easier for non-technical users, such as business architects, to set access rights even if they may not have a deep understanding of Pega 7's security model and class inheritance structure.
