New Feature

Personalized Timezone Settings in the Managed Services Center (MSC)

Administrators can now set their preferred timezone directly within the Managed Services Center (MSC). Previously, timezone settings relied on support intervention or defaulted to a standard timezone upon initial MSP administrator creation. This new feature ensures that audit logs, entity timestamps, and monitor jobs are displayed according to the administrator's chosen timezone.

Key Improvements:

  • MSP Administrators: Can set and update the timezone for all MSP, tenant, and read-only administrators.

  • Tenant and Read-Only Administrators: Can set and update the timezone for their own accounts.

  • Customer Tenant Console: The timezone displayed within the customer tenant console will be set according to the timezone of the administrator.

This enhancement provides more accurate and relevant time-based information for monitoring jobs, reviewing audit logs, and managing other time-sensitive entities.

Action Required:

The default timezone for all administrators who did not select one during account creation is UTC. To update your timezone preference, log in to the MSC and edit your administrator profile.
