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
