If you manage multiple groups but don't have account-level access, you've likely spent time switching between individual group Home pages just to piece together an overall picture of Sanas utilization. That fragmented workflow ends with this release.

My Assigned Groups adds a new layer in the Group Tree that consolidates Sanas utilization across every group assigned to you — all in a single view. Subgroup-level Portal users now get the same consolidated visibility that account-level admins have always had.

How to access: Select My Assigned Groups in the Group Tree. The Home page displays a consolidated overview of Sanas utilization across all your assigned groups.

Auto-activation

Auto-activation is a credential-less authentication mode that streamlines user onboarding on the Sanas App V5. It uses the connected domain (on Windows) or host name (on macOS) on the user's computer for authentication. Users are automatically authenticated when they launch the Sanas App and are added to a group based on the configured Installer ID.

How to set up Auto-activation

Step 1: Update the Installer ID on user computers

An Installer ID is a unique string that helps Sanas identify the user's group and preconfigure their app before they sign in. Installer IDs are unique at the group level and can be used in two ways:

Account Installer ID: Use this if you're implementing Auto-activation across all groups in your Sanas account. All users signing in for the first time are added under the Default Group. You can move them to other groups later as needed.
Group Installer ID: Use this if only some groups will use Auto-activation. Configure the specific group's Installer ID on the intended users' computers during the Sanas App installation. This adds users directly to the specified group instead of the Default Group.

Step 2: Configure Auto-activation on the Portal

In the Group Tree, select the group (or the Sanas account for account-wide configuration) you want to configure.
Navigate to Settings > Application Authentication.
Select Auto-activation, then select Save.

Single Sign-On for the Sanas App

The Sanas App now supports Single Sign-On (SSO). Users can authenticate using the same identity provider (IdP) your organization already uses for other services.

How to set up SSO

Step 1: Configure the Installer ID

Refer to Step 1 under Auto-activation for detailed instructions on configuring Installer IDs.

Step 2: Integrate your IdP on the Sanas Portal

On the Sanas Portal, navigate to Settings > Authentication > SSO.
Copy the Identifier and Reply URL values displayed on the page.
Use these values to create an SSO integration in your identity provider, then download the X.509 Certificate.
Open the downloaded certificate in a text editor and copy its contents.
Return to the Portal, paste the certificate content into the corresponding field, and select Save.

On-demand AI model Update

You can now update the AI model your team uses directly from the Sanas Portal for supported Sanas products, without requiring an app reinstallation. This capability is now supported in Sanas App V5.

How it works

Automatic update: Sanas automatically triggers an AI model update when you configure accents for a group, and the users in that group are running an AI model that doesn't support those accents.
Manual update: Navigate to Settings > select your Sanas product under Products > choose your preferred AI model from the dropdown > select Save.

Sanas Widget

The Sanas Widget is a quick-toggle overlay that stays on top of the user's screen — whether they're on a local computer or virtual desktop — when they minimize the full Sanas App. It gives users quick access to Sanas toggle without switching windows. The redesigned Widget provides real-time visual feedback so users can confirm Sanas status at a glance.

Removed Direct App Closing

App version: 5.2.21

The direct app closing button has been removed from the Sanas App to promote the adoption and utilization among users. Users can continue to minimize it, but cannot close the app directly anymore.
