# March 2026 Product Release Notes

## Theme: From Intent to Access

This month, the Access Request Agent lets employees describe what they need in plain language and guides them to a least-privilege, policy-compliant request automatically. A new ADP connector and a wave of improvements across Google Workspace, Salesforce, GitHub, and more extend Lumos coverage across your stack. New workflow controls provide admins more precise automation options.

***

## AppStore

### Access Request Agent \[Beta]

The Lumos AppStore now has a built-in AI agent that turns plain-language intent into structured, least-privilege access requests. Instead of browsing a catalog and guessing at permission names, employees describe what they need to do - and the agent maps it to the right app, entitlement, duration, and business justification before submission.

**What's new:**

* Conversational access request experience embedded directly in the Employee AppStore
* Intent classification that maps task descriptions to the right app and entitlement
* Automatic business justification generation based on the employee's stated need
* Pre-submission validation for eligibility, duplicates, existing access, and policy conflicts
* Least-privilege defaults - if multiple entitlements could satisfy a request, the agent recommends the safest option
* Falls back to the standard request form if confidence is low - employees are never stuck
* Mobile-friendly design with a refreshed AppStore UI
* No admin setup required - inherits your existing catalog, approval policies, and provisioning workflows

**Benefits:**

* Employees get access faster - guided requests in under 5 minutes vs. 9+ minutes of catalog browsing
* Approvers receive decision-ready requests with full context on the first try, cutting clarification loops
* Fewer over-privileged requests - least-privilege defaults reduce security escalations and denial/resubmission cycles
* Zero risk to your existing governance - requests flow through the same approval chains as always

*This feature is in Beta. Reach out to your CSM to get started.*

## Lifecycle Management

### Flow Step: Wait Until

Onboarding workflows can now pause until a specific date is reached - anchored to an employee's actual Start Date, not the moment the workflow fired. This means provisioning happens at exactly the right time, regardless of when your HRIS synced the record.

**What's new:**

* New "Wait Until" step type in the LCM workflow builder
* Supports Lumos Expression Language (LEL) for date offsets: provision 3 days before start date with `subtract_days(start_date, 3)`, or 7 days after with `add_days(start_date, 7)`
* If the computed date has already passed, the workflow proceeds immediately - no errors, no blocks
* Configurable error handling if Start Date is missing: cancel the workflow or skip the step and continue
* Full visibility in workflow run logs - shows pause state, computed resume timestamp, and outcome per run

**Benefits:**

* Provisioning fires on the employee's timeline, not the HRIS sync schedule
* Security policies with time-sensitive access windows (like MFA enrollment periods) are reliably enforced
* Supports split onboarding flows - immediate actions on identity creation, date-delayed actions anchored to start date
* Available in the LCM workflow builder for all customers with LCM enabled - no additional setup required

## Policy Mining

### Knowledge Hub

The Knowledge Hub is a new home for the organizational context that shapes how Lumos AI makes decisions. Admins can now define, view, and manage the rules and guidelines their AI agents use - things like how your organization identifies contractors, which apps have access nuances, or what permissions are expected for certain roles.

**What’s new:**

* A centralized table of Knowledge Entries, each with a name, instructions, scope (global or product-specific) and tag (relevant apps)
* Filter entries by use case: General Instructions, Access Reviews, Policy Mining, Albus Chat, or Access Requests
* Audit trail tracking who created or modified each entry and when the entry was last updated

**Benefits:**

* AI recommendations reflect your organization’s actual policies and nuances - not generic defaults
* Admins can see exactly what context is shaping AI decisions, building trust in recommendations
* Every change is auditable, supporting compliance requirements

### *Available in the Lumos side nav for all customers.* Ask Albus \[Beta]

Ask Albus, Lumos’s AI-powered policy mining assistant, is now visible to all customers directly in the side nav. Albus helps IT and IAM teams build accurate, data-driven access policies from real usage patterns, and automate Day 1 provisioning for new hires.

**What’s new:**

* “Ask Albus” now appears in the side nav for all customers
* Ask questions like “What access should a new engineer have?” and get AI-generated policy recommendations based on how your organization actually uses its apps
* Knowledge Hub context integration - Albus recommendations now incorporate your org-specific rules

**Benefits:**

* Build access policies in hours instead of weeks - no more spreadsheet-based role mapping
* New hires get the right access on Day 1 instead of waiting weeks for IT to sort it out
* Policies are grounded in real usage data, not tribal knowledge or guesswork
* Reduce access request ticket volume with automated birthright provisioning

*Interested in getting started? Reach out to your CSM.*

## Integrations

### New Connector: ADP Workforce Now \[Beta]

Lumos now connects directly to ADP Workforce Now for end-to-end user and access management.

**What's new:**

* Sync users, roles, and custom attributes
* Create and update users including custom attributes
* Assign and unassign access to roles
* Delete users
* Can be scoped to read-only

**Benefits:**

* Direct provisioning actions in Lumos without leaving the platform

## Identities

*Coming the first week of April.*

### Lumos Members Moved to Settings

The Lumos Members page has a new home. You'll now find it under **Settings** instead of the Identities tab - with a cleaner table view showing name, email, employment status, delegation status, and access level, all filterable, sortable, and searchable.

**Benefits:**

* Easier to find and manage who has access to Lumos and at what level
* Cleaner separation between identity data and member management
* View and manage delegation and access levels all in one place

*A banner will guide you to the new location if you're used to finding it under Identities.*
