ControlOne Update: Agent Release Tiers, Teleport Step-Up Authentication, and Performance Improvements
Summary
This update adds versioned release tiers for the ControlOne Desktop Agent: Beta, General Availability (GA), and Long-Term Support (LTS). Partners now have more control over when and how new versions roll out. It also improves Teleport for partners using the Unity platform by honoring the Unity MFA code instead of requiring a separate ControlOne code for authentication. Endpoint performance on Windows and macOS has been improved by fixing high background CPU usage in recent ControlOne Agent versions.
What’s New
- Partners can now choose when and how updates are deployed through defined release tiers: Beta, General Availability (GA), and Long-Term Support (LTS). This gives greater visibility into the state of each release and more control over which version is applied to each customer. For example, partners can restrict a customer to LTS to receive only essential security updates and fewer feature changes, or assign power users to Beta for immediate access to new capabilities and the opportunity to share feedback with developers.
- For partners using the Unity platform, Teleport now honors the Unity MFA code instead of requiring a separate ControlOne code for authentication.
- The Agent’s background performance has been improved by fixing an issue that caused the app to use more CPU than expected when idle.
Why You’ll Love It
Defined release tiers give partners meaningful control over how updates reach their customers. You can align each tenant to the release cadence that best fits their needs, choosing between Beta for early adopters, General Availability for standard rollouts, or Long-Term Support for customers who prioritize stability. This flexibility simplifies update planning, reduces risk, and builds confidence in the update process.
This release also resolves two issues: Teleport now correctly honors Unity MFA for partners using the Unity platform, and the ControlOne Agent’s background CPU usage has been reduced to restore normal performance levels.
How to Access It
These updates are available now for Windows and macOS.
Release tiers (Beta, GA, and LTS) can be managed in the ControlOne Admin Portal under Agent Settings.
- Step-up verification is automatically available for Unity users once the feature is enabled in their environment.
