Cayosoft Administrator 12.3.1: Smarter Scopes, Safer Administration

By Dmitry Sotnikov

The latest release of Cayosoft Administrator provides enhanced control, flexibility, and protection for your hybrid Microsoft management workflows.

With version 12.3.1, you can now create multi-organizational-unit (OU) scopes, combining multiple OUs into one logical scope for secure, policy-driven delegation. This change removes the previous limitation of assigning just a single OU when creating a virtual admin unit—making it easier to:

  • Simplify management for large, distributed directory structures
  • Apply consistent delegation rules across related OUs
  • Reduce the number of separate admin units to maintain

Why it matters:

This enhancement aims to strike the perfect balance—broad enough in scope to manage efficiently, yet narrow enough to maintain security and compliance. It means less time managing admin unit complexity and more time focusing on strategic IT priorities.

Other Enhancements in 12.3.1

  • Mailbox auto-mapping control – Gain finer control when granting mailbox access to prevent unintentional over-permissioning.
  • Persistent web actions customizations – Keep your preferred web actions configuration with product updates for a consistent admin experience.
  • Safety brakes for high-impact rules – Add an extra confirmation step before executing bulk or potentially disruptive operations, reducing the risk of human error.
