Deny devices access to the IBM® Connections Mobile application.
About this task
Using the Mobile Administration console, you can control
which mobile devices can access your IBM Connections servers. When users log in for the first time,
they and their devices automatically have access. However, you can
deny access to specific devices. Conversely, you restore access to
devices that you previously blocked. You would typically deny access
to a device if it is lost but you believe that it might be found.
If a device is irretrievably lost or stolen, you would deny access
and also wipe Connections data from the device.
To deny access
to a device, complete the following steps:
Procedure
- Log in to the Mobile Admin console and click Device Security.
- Optional: Search for the device that you want
to block:
- Select User Name, Device Name, or Device Id from the Filter menu.
- Enter search terms in the Enter the Search
Terms box and press Enter or click
the Search icon.
- Select the check box for the device that you want to block
and click Deny Access.
Tip: You can configure multiple devices by selecting the check
box for each device that you want to block.
- Confirm your choice. The view refreshes and the Access
column displays Deny in the row for the blocked device. To see the
full audit history of the device, click the row to display the Device
Details for the device.
Results
The blocked device can no longer log in to IBM Connections. The user receives a message
that the device is blocked.What to do next
To restore access for a blocked device, select the check
box for the device and click Allow Access.
