Patch management
To be able to schedule Patch management tasks, this would be useful for Mac devices that require Upgrade patches to be run via Patch management instead of IT Automation profiles.
This workaround is useful for Mac devices that are offline, in order to help automate pushing Upgrade patches

Ability to auto assign patch policies based on device type
We need the ability to assign patch policies to different devices GLOBALLY not just per customer/folder.
Example: You have 2 Windows Patch Policies
Workstations: Update within a week and push all available updates
Servers: Update within 2 weeks and push available patchesThis allows you to keep critical infrastructure patching separate from the rest of the fleet and have it assigned automatically as the agents get deployed.
Datto has this functionality - Atera needs it
2 votesHi,
Thank you for your valuable suggestion. While we won't be implementing this idea in the immediate future, it has been added to our list for future consideration.
We continuously review user feedback to inform our development priorities, so your idea remains on our radar.
Best regards,

Make all custom fields available in scripts
Currently only agent custom fields are available to use in scripts. All custom field should be available (where sensible). For example, customer wide custom field containing data we want to access in a script.

Automated Full Disk Access for macOS via MDM (PPPC) Policy Deployment
It would be a huge time-saver if Atera could include the ability to deploy PPPC (Privacy Preferences Policy Control) profiles through its MDM tools to automatically grant Full Disk Access for the Atera agent on macOS devices.
Right now, we have to manually configure this on each Mac, which is both time-consuming and prone to being missed during setup. If Atera could handle this as part of the MDM deployment process, it would greatly simplify onboarding, improve monitoring reliability, and ensure better compliance across all endpoints.
This would be especially helpful for IT teams managing remote or large fleets of…

Patch Management - Offline agent in different category
Please set a different category esp in the Patch Management console so I can see Patched / Needs patches / Needs patches but offline or some notation of been offline for a while, etc. It's very hard to tell if I am up to date or it's just offline PC's / outdated PCs. I have no way of telling whether I am close to being up to date or a few offline PCs are throwing all my stats a skew. Super helpful if it had a color bar for this in the graphs.

patch approval report and scans
It would be great to have the patch approval section of the Automation Profiles to automatically populate instead of waiting for the automation profile to run.
I want to be able to see which patches are availble via the automation profile on a weekly basis but without having the risk of them installing when running the automation profile daily.
Currently, the new patch management screen automatically populates with new patches, and maybe this logic can be included in the automation profile patch approvals?
A report for pending patches per client could also be useful for clients that require an approval…

Separate Chocolatey and Homebrew options in Patch Management
Since Chocolatey doesn't support ARM binaries and sometimes breaks things by updating Edge Webview2 with x64 causing chaos where users are unable to open some apps (Teams) and download PDF's etc, we have disabled Chocolatey in Atera altogether.
But by disabling Chocolatey we also disable Homebrew for Mac since it's one button for both.
Can you please separate these options so that we can keep Homebrew enabled?

Patch Management (New) - save a view or filters
Patch Management (New) - save a view or filters
It would be nice to save views that we have filtered in the new Patch Management section of the Atera Portal. It is causing a lot frustration Atera resets the filters I am using. especially hard when I have do my monthly IT Reports.5 votes -
Windows and 3rd party patch scanning
It would be nice to be able to manually scan for Windows updates, 3rd party patches and inventory via a button for bulk or single endpoint. Currently you have to wait or reboot an endpoint for atera to update patches/inventory and status.

Omit Specific Devices From Patch Dashboard
For servers or computers that are used for specific purpose such as VEEAM or other reason like keeping a computer on older Windows versions for specific reasons, these computers are omitted from patch profiles and are not patched. These computers need to have an option to filter out of the patching dashboard and reports as they affect the reporting inaccurately due to this business practice.

More Granularity In Update Postponement
Currently the only options when selecting to "Postpone" updates on Window is "Critical" and "Non-critical".
With this in place, Microsoft Defender Definition updates are getting marked as "Non-critical" and therefore stop any ability to actual have "Non-critical" updates be postponed without making devices less secure.
Allow more granularity in which specific types of updates we can postpone with different timelines, e.g. put in line with the options in OS Patch Management:
Critical updates
Security Updates
- Security updates
- Definition updates
- Update rollups
Service Packs
- Service pack updates
- Feature packs
- Updates
Drives and tools
- Hardware driver updates
- Office updates
- Tool updates

A precise control over the device reboot from Configuration policy
A precise control over the device reboot from Configuration policy
What we need:
We need to be able to specify a deadline for automatic PC restart and application of updates. Similar to the setting in Group Policy, the deadline time frame can be between 2 and 14 days. After the deadline has passed, devices restart regardless of active hours. Currently, it is between 15 to 180 minutes.What we have in Atera through configuration policy:
• Disable auto-restart with logged-on users
• Restart outside of active hours
• Restart after selected time period
o 15 – 180 minutes
• Allow…4 votes -
Version-lock
In development environments, it's critical to be able to set a specific version to applications, which cannot be upgraded further.
It's mostly used for browsers and infrastructure (For example, smbclient for domain-binding changed its tags and broke processes).
Setting up version lock for all packages (not just excluded windows updates) will allow for stable systems.2 votes -
IT Automation Calendar View / More IT Automations information information (consolidated)
A calendar view for all of the automation profiles that shows the day and time of the week they are scheduled for. This would make for way more efficient planning of the automations, especially since it's already recommended to make a restart task a separate automation from other actions. This has caused us to have to create many duplicate profiles and has created an intensely muddy view of the automation profiles.

Deploy MSI File if it's not installed
When deploying a MSI file through Atera using IT Automations, I need an option where Atera checks if the software isn't already installed before deploying it. I'm currently forced to update all of my servers everyday whether it's needed or not.
