PowerShell Universal Community Call - August 2026

Meeting Notes

We had a well-attended meeting with some good discussion. I talked about the above topics and where to find the new artifacts:

• Devolutions PowerShell Universal - Visual Studio Marketplace

• PowerShell Gallery | Devolutions.PowerShellUniversal 2026.2.4

• devolutions/powershell-universal - Docker Image

We discussed some of the new versions. 2026.2.5 will be out soon with a patch to the PowerShell SDK's NVD - CVE-2026-70337.

I also gave a demo of the PSU 2026.3.0 admin console refresh. Showed off the general look and feel, search capabilities and table unification. We talked a bit about Devolutions Agent integration.

• Discussed performance of jobs launched from APIs using Invoke-PSUScript

  • Persistent job environments coming in 2026.3 that should help

  • Will support MCP tools

  • Question about environment recycling for jobs that we need to follow up on

• Discussed the benefits of idle environment recycling that we could implement in a future version

• PowerShell 7 jobs are much slower to start on Windows than on Linux (7-15 seconds vs 2 seconds)

• User discussed issues with saving apps

  • Sometimes app reload shows a blank page

  • Sometimes (especially on a phone), the session timeout modal is just displayed instead of the app

  • Timeout lock when saving sometimes (sees to work fine but error shown)

  • User will open bug\support forum for each item

• Docs - Search is not scoped to PSU by default. Use the Filter -> All Docs button to switch to just PSU search

• Blocking\Rate Limiting Discussion

  • PSU can already rate limit exact URLs but would be nice to have built in rate limits for things like "login", "admin console" without too much rate configuration

  • Would be nice to limit apps\admin console to specific Kestrel listeners

• Multi Git Repo

  • user has multiple teams and looking for a good way to configure that in PSU

  • Not great support at the moment, submodules probably easiest

  • User will open a feature request with some more details

• Certificate based auth issues

  • User occasionally gets TLS issues with clients connecting to APIs

  • User will open a support or bug in the forums to investigate

• RBAC Reporting

  • A user would like better reporting of RBAC in apps so its easy to see who has access to what

  • General RBAC reporting would be good

Thanks Adam.

Looking forward to 2026.3
