Esper Release Notes - DevRel 190

Dates: May 21, 2026

Esper Agent Version: 12.0.3791

New Features 

  • Restricted Permissions for User Management: Custom admin roles can now be configured with a Restricted modifier on User Management permissions, limiting a custom admin to assigning only roles whose permissions fall within their own. Enterprise Admins can apply this setting to:
    • creating invites
    • updating user roles
    • viewing role lists independently

 Currently, the Restricted modifiers are not supported in the Impersonation Preview tool. Restricted role access is not based on role hierarchy, but instead based on scopes that the role already contains. Learn more about the User Management role permissions.

The User Management permissions panel in the Esper console with Custom access selected. Three permission groups are shown — General, User Invites, and User Roles. Update users and Create user/SSO invites are enabled with a Restricted modifier applied. View user roles is enabled with an Unrestricted modifier.

  • Audit Linux scripts from the Event Feed: You can now view and download the complete output of any command/script executed on a device (stdout, stderr, and exit code) directly from the event feed. Download a snippet for each script event and audit exactly what a script did instead of seeing a truncated snippet.

The Event Feed tab on a device detail page, showing two expanded script events for a command called "helloworld" both with a Failed status. Each event displays a timestamped output snippet showing a shell error: the script attempted to run ehco (a misspelling of echo), resulting in a "command not found" error. A download icon appears on each event row.

  • Send Background scripts to a Windows device: You can now apply a background script to a Windows device. Use a blueprint to configure the script and then converge the device. 

Reach out to Esper if you’re interested in provisioning Windows devices.

The script creation form in the Esper console, showing a script named "Verify background scripts" with a description listing four checks: user context, basic device identity, system uptime, and Esper Agent process status. The code editor below displays a PowerShell script using Write-Output commands to log each of those values.

  • iOS Esper Agent updated to version 1.2.2: The provisioning profiles have been renewed in accordance with Apple's annual certificate requirements. There are no functional changes in this release.
  • Android Esper Agent Updates: 
    • Added support for setting static IP on Samsung Knox devices.
    • Added support for CLEAR_APP_CACHE command on supervisor-supported devices.
    • Added FCM-based device notifications to support remote viewer session start.
    • Fixed an issue where the navigation bar was not hidden in kiosk mode on Samsung devices running Android 16.

We’re excited to launch DevRel 190 over the coming days, and the Esper team is hard at work on the next release. Please contact Esper Support to share your thoughts on how Esper can improve future releases.
