ADManager Plus Build 8050 adds blast-radius maps and ML-driven access reviews.

active directoryidentity governanceaccess reviewsmicrosoft entrabackup
◆Current state
After a 2026 of mostly fix builds, ManageEngine ADManager Plus Build 8050 (9 November) is a feature release. It adds an Impact Radius view showing which objects a compromised privileged account could reach, adaptive access reviews that trigger certification when risky access is detected and suggest approve or revoke, WCAG accessibility controls, attribute dependencies in templates, and wider Entra ID and Azure app role backups.
◆Where it's heading
The product is moving from Active Directory provisioning toward identity risk and governance: January's Marketplace Extensions brought third-party app identities in, and Build 8050 adds risk mapping and continuous access certification on top. Backups are widening to cover more of the Microsoft cloud configuration.
◆Prediction
Expect the next builds to return to fixes for these new modules, then extend Risk Exposure Management and access reviews to more Microsoft 365 and Entra ID objects.
