What's new in MunkiWho

Add anything from the header, see answered password requests on the Overview, and refreshing keeps your place.

Improved

• Add anything from the header. The + Add user button is now + Add, with a menu to create a user, group, folder, licence, asset, app or maintenance job from anywhere in MunkiWho. Each choice opens the page it belongs on with its create form ready.
• Answered password requests on the Overview. When someone answers a MunkiKey password request, it appears under Needs attention on the Overview. Clicking it opens MunkiKey › Ask for one, where you can read what was sent.
• Faster bulk deletes. Deleting many users, groups or folders at once is now much quicker. Each one still has its own entry in the Recycle bin and can be restored on its own.

Fixed

• Large bulk deletes and the Recycle bin. Deleting more than 100 items in one go could push the first of them out of the Recycle bin, so they could not be restored. Everything from a single delete now stays in the bin.
• Refreshing went back to the Overview. Refreshing the page now keeps you on the page you were on, such as Users, Groups or Folders. The page you are on is also part of the address, so a link to it opens the same page.

A built-in Help centre, colour-coded group types, and deleting a user from their own record.

New

• Help centre. Help centre in the sidebar opens guides written for MunkiWho: getting started, users and groups, MunkiKey, and installing and updating your server. New articles appear as they are published, and contacting support is one click away.

Improved

• Group types at a glance. Each kind of group has its own icon and colour — security groups, mail-enabled security groups, distribution lists, shared mailboxes, Microsoft 365 groups and Teams — in the Groups list, the group cards and each group's own page.
• Delete from a user's record. The Account actions bar on a user now has Delete beside Disabled and Convert to shared mailbox. As with deleting from the list, the user goes to the Recycle bin and can be restored.

Fixed

• In-app updates on Linux. Installing an update from Settings › Updates failed with "the update server sent release details this updater does not understand". Servers on 1.0.2 need 1.0.3 installed by hand once (sudo ./install.sh from the release); updates install from Settings › Updates after that.
• Long help articles cut off. Help centre articles longer than the window now scroll, instead of hiding their last lines.

A native Linux server with one-click in-app updates, password requests in MunkiKey, and a Markdown Scratchpad.

New

• Linux server. MunkiWho Server now runs natively on Linux (x64 and ARM64) as a systemd service, with its own Node.js runtime included. Install it with sudo ./install.sh. Running the installer again upgrades the server and keeps your configuration and data.
• In-app updates (Linux). Owners and admins get a new Settings › Updates page. The server checks for new releases every six hours, and one click installs them. Each update verifies the download, backs up your directory first, then restarts the server. If the new version doesn't start, the previous one is restored automatically.
• MunkiKey: ask for a password. Next to Send a password, Ask for one creates a one-time link that someone can use to send you a password or login details securely. Submissions are end-to-end encrypted and open only in the browser that made the request. Protecting the request with a PIN is optional.
• Markdown Scratchpad. The Scratchpad is now a Markdown editor with live preview and Source and Reading modes. It supports headings, lists, task checkboxes, tables, callouts, code blocks, [[links between notes]] with backlinks, and #tags.
• Scratchpad import and export. Import .md, .markdown or .txt files as new notes, and download any note as a .md file.

Improved

• Your directory's name in the header. Self-hosted servers show your directory's name instead of "My Organisation".
• Correct version in About MunkiWho. The About window shows the installed version.
• Password and MFA for hosted accounts. Hosted accounts can change their own password and MFA from the Security dialog. Previously they were wrongly told their credentials were managed elsewhere.
• Hosted sign-ins in the audit log. Sign-ins on the hosted service now appear in Settings › Audit. Invitation and renewal events that the audit filter had been hiding now show too.

Fixed

• Sign out on app.munkiwho.com. Signing out signed you straight back in.
• Blank page after sign-out. Signing out could leave a blank page until you refreshed.
• Audit log stuck on "Loading". The audit log panel could stay on "Loading" indefinitely. Its date filters and search by person also didn't work.

The first release of MunkiWho, the user directory for IT teams and managed service providers.

MunkiWho is a user directory for IT teams and managed service providers: one place to record who works in your organisation, which groups they belong to, which shared folders and mailboxes they can reach, which licences, devices and software they hold, and the work being done on them. Every change is recorded and can be reviewed. It is available as a hosted service, or self-hosted on a Windows server.

New

• Users. A record for each person with their groups, licences, folder and mailbox access, and notes, with columns you choose, sorting, and conversion to a shared mailbox.
• Groups. Cards or a compact list, with members managed in one place.
• Folders. A permissions map showing who can reach each folder and through which groups, organised by site or share.
• Licences. Seats, holders, categories, product key and the account each licence is registered to, plus the apps it covers.
• Assets. A device register with device types, primary users, and bulk disable, decommission and delete.
• Apps. A software register showing which people and devices have each application.
• Maintenance. Raise a job against a set of devices, assign it, track it, and record a result for each device in its service history.
• Checklists. Reusable templates you run and tick off, with notes on each step.
• Knowledge base. Documents and images kept in folders beside the directory.
• MunkiKey. Generate passwords, passphrases and easy-to-read passwords, and send a credential as a one-time link.
• Scratchpad. Shared working notes kept beside the directory.
• Overview. Counts and a Needs attention list, including accounts left disabled longer than a limit you set.
• History and audit. Every change recorded with before and after values, undo for deletes, and a recycle bin.
• Import and export. Bring users, groups, licences, folders and assets in from CSV, or export the whole directory.
• Several directories (self-hosted). Keep each client's directory separate, and limit each account to the directories it looks after.
• Active Directory comparison (Windows self-hosted). A read-only check showing where MunkiWho and Active Directory disagree.
• Accounts and settings. Single sign-on, MFA, read-only roles, API tokens, an MCP server for AI assistants, and a Licence page.
