Required Firewall Configuration Changes (Allowlisting by IP Addresses Only)

If you are an admin whose firewall is configured to allowlist by IP addresses only, you must allowlist the following eight (8) additional IP addresses by April 30, 2021 to ensure uninterrupted service:

• 52.23.109.85
• 34.194.20.78
• 54.224.37.110
• 52.205.68.9
• 3.221.98.226
• 54.157.60.139
• 3.218.246.74
• 52.55.102.23

This means that your firewall must be configured to allowlist all thirty (30) IP range blocks PLUS the eight (8) new IP addresses listed above. Please see our Optimal Firewall Configuration article for additional information.

If you do not configure your firewall to allow these new IP addresses by April 30, 2021, the GoToAssist Remote Support v4 service will no longer work. This means that agents will not be able to sign in, host support sessions, or access unattended computers.

If your security solution is configured to allowlist by domains, you will remain unaffected by these changes and your service will continue without interruption.

• Fixed an issue in which the unattended computers list status buttons (All, Online, In-Session, and Offline) were not fully displayed, and agents were unable to scroll to access them.

• Version 4.4, build 1599

For more information about updating your desktop applications, please see Update the GoToAssist Desktop Applications.

• All references to "Company" have been updated to "Device Group" on both the Reporting tab of the agent Web App and within the fields of generated reports.

Updates to "Invite User" Flow

Admins can now invite users that have an active profile in another account, and those users can choose to accept or decline the invitation. If accepted, their user profile will move to the new account, along with their session history, upcoming scheduled sessions, and recordings. If users do not take action, admins can resend the invitation or delete them. Previously, users (whose profiles already existed in our system) were required to contact Customer Care in order to transfer to a new account.

Updates to Product Logos for User Statuses

Admins can now easily recognize users who have been invited to join their account but have not yet activated their account by the hollow product logos () displayed for the user under the Product status column on the Manage Users page. Alternatively, when the user joins the admin's account, their product logos are filled in (). Previously, the product logos were filled regardless of status. View more information about changing user statuses.

• The "Delete Users" window includes more details on how to retain user data if needed.

• All references to the following texts have been updated throughout the Admin Center:

  • Suppress email notification has been changed to Do not notify users about this change when a user's product access and/or role has changed
  • Invited has been changed to Invite sent under the user Status column
  • Reinvite has been changed to Resend under the user Status column for re-sending the Welcome email invitation

Other Ways to Sign In – Support for LastPass and Apple Accounts

Users now have the ability to connect their LastPass and/or Apple account to their LogMeIn product user account at https://profile.logmeininc.com/signin-security. Once connected, users can sign in to their LogMeIn product account instantly by selecting their connected account on the product sign in screen or on the My Account page at https://myaccount.logmeininc.com. Previously, users could only connect their Facebook, Google, LinkedIn, and/or Microsoft accounts.

Note: As before, if an account admin has enforced SAML SSO (Enterprise Sign-In) as the only sign-in method for all users on the account, those users will not be presented with any additional sign-in options.

Manage Report Access for Agents

Account admins can now configure the "Access to recordings and reporting" pane in Admin Settings to choose between allowing agents to access both session recordings and reporting for all users, or only allowing agents to access their own session recordings (which excludes reports). Previously, this account-wide setting could only be configured for session recordings, not reports.

Note: By default, admins are able to view all reports and session recordings for agents.

Additionally, all existing accounts before this release will continue to be configured to allow all agents to access all recordings and reports, whereas all accounts created after this release will be configured to restrict agents to access only their own recordings and excludes access to reports. However, this account-wide restriction/allowance privilege can be changed for all users within the account's Admin Settings.

• Fixed issue in which scrolling through data displayed tables was not rendering properly when using Safari.

Warning Message for Customers Joining Sessions from Trial Agent Account

An informative warning message is now displayed to the customer during the join flow advising them that the agent hosting the support session is using a trial account, and for their protection they should avoid providing any credit card information or accepting any unsolicited services. Learn more about joining support sessions and reporting abuse.

• Fixed issue that caused overlapping text when resizing the browser and GoToAssist Remote Support is listed among other products under the New User Settings Template pane.

New Email Templates Available to All Admins

All account admins are now enabled to use the new Welcome and Assignment Change email templates, which were introduced to most accounts in a previous release. Admins can view and configure these new email templates within Admin Settings under Email Customizations.

Ability to Change Account Name

Account admins can change the account name of their LogMeIn product account within Admin Settings. Previously, account name changes could only be performed by Customer Care representatives.

New Welcome and Assignment Change Email Templates

The Welcome email and Change email templates have a new look and feel! Note that any customizations made to the previous template will also be carried over to the new template.

Note: This feature is being rolled out in a phased manner. This release enabled it as the default setting for most accounts (with the ability to opt-out, if desired), and made it available as an opt-in feature for other accounts – both of which can be configured within Admin Settings under Email Customizations. All new accounts will only see the new email templates and be unable to opt-out. A future release will make it the default setting for all accounts.
