We have implemented these changes in release 23, if you CURRENTLY use awareness programs you will see the following KEY changes:
- From release 3.23.0, can not create Awareness Programs and tie them directly to a LDAP connector. The screenshot below shows the old method where you select an LDAP connector.
- From now on, the “audience” of your Awareness Programs are user accounts that exist in your eramba install (you can create user accounts in eramba automatically with an LDAP connector, CSV import or manually one by one). The screenshot below shows the new method where you select one or more local groups.
- Those of you that run Awareness Programs will still have access to the LDAP Connector setting when editing EXISTING awareness programs. The screenshot below shows how an “old” awareness program looks on release 3.23. In BLUE you see the option to select groups (with accounts created in eramba) and in RED you see the OLD method which we kept only for those of you that used the feature before this upgrade. You see both options because you can combine them if you want (we do not recommend doing so), read further.
- WE STRONGLY ADVICE YOU TO BACKUP COMPLETELY YOUR SYSTEM BEFORE UPGRADING IN CASE YOU NEED TO ROLLBACK. CONTACT SUPPORT IF YOU ARE IN DOUBT.
- Whats next? If you have awareness programs we recommend you PAUSE them and create new awareness programs using the new audience method (create user accounts in ermaba, put them in groups, create an awareness program with the same settings as the ones you have now, start them) We will remove the old “audience” method in 2025 so while you will still have the awareness program to review statistics, they will not work anymore.
- There are some other changes (questionaires options, etc) that have far minor consequences. Please review the post above and our documentation, ask us questions if something is not clear.
