New Features for Office Chat Admins

• Domain Admins Access to Private Chat: In this release we have added One of Top Requested Office Chat Features by admins  – Access to all private chats in their company. This feature is now available via the Office Chat admin portal to domain admins. Domain admins will be able to view and export chat history for both private & group chats in their domain. This feature is available on Office Chat Enterprise plan.

• Control Over Inviting New Users: You can control how new users get added to your network. The choices include anyone can invite, anyone can invite but you/domain admins have to approve or only you/domain admins can invite. This feature is available on Office Chat Enterprise plan.

• Session Time-Out Settings:  Users in confidential environments may need to automatically be logged off when they are inactive, for compliance reasons. With a session timeout period set, your domain will automatically log users out if they are inactive for a set period of time while using the web browser clients. This feature is available on Office Chat Enterprise plan.

• IP Address Based Access : For additional security and compliance reasons you can now make Office Chat accessible to your employees only from within your company’s private network or over a VPN. You can do this by configuring IP addresses ranges from where your employees can access Office Chat. You have additional control to enable the same IP address range to be enforced on users accessing Office Chat from mobile clients as well. This feature is available on Office Chat Enterprise plan.

• New Logs & Alerts on User Access:  Admins would now have access to additional logs from the admin portal. These include the user access log and the security log. These logs would give insight into specific users login history, access from a new geographic location, any un-authorised attempt to access a resource that the user isn’t authorised to view and more. This feature is available on Office Chat Enterprise plan.

• Improved Remote Mobile Device Management: This gives you the ability to do management actions remotely on a iOS or Android mobile device running Office Chat. These management actions include – Wipeout Device and Disable Device. Wipeout device deletes the office chat app downloaded content and Disable device deletes the office chat downloaded content and also dis-allows future logins into office chat from that device. This feature is available on Office Chat Enterprise plan.
