The Device Settings section of the Admin console allows an administrator to manage the ability for the users of their organization to add their PreVeil accounts to additional devices.

To access the Device Settings:

Click the Admin Console option in the menu bar at the top of the PreVeil browser application, and then select Device Settings from the left-hand menu.

There are three options for functionality on this page:

User Device Management

  • By default, users within your organization have the ability to add their PreVeil account on additional devices (phones, tablets, additional computers).

  • PreVeil does not limit how many additional devices a user can add their account to.

  • If you would like to restrict this ability for users in your organization, you can turn this toggle off.

  • If the toggle is turned off, the Add Device option will still be available under a user’s Settings.

  • However, if a user tries to add a device, they will receive an error message.

     

  • Even with User Device Management disabled, organization administrators have the ability to make exceptions to allow individual users to add devices. To do so, go to the Users section of the Admin Console, select the user you want to make the exception for, click on the Devices tab of their profile, and turn on the toggle to allow them to add devices.

     

Note: Organization users will also be unable to recover their account by using a recovery code file when the User Device Management toggle is turned off.

 

Trusted Devices

 

Trusted Devices allows an administrator to define what devices a user can add their account to. This is done by generating a Trusted Root Certificate and installing that certificate on any device that they want to allow a user to add their account to. With this functionality enabled, users in the organization will not be able to add their accounts to any devices that do not have this trusted root certificate installed.

Organization Device List

 

  • This option allows an administrator to download a CSV file that list all the devices that all the users in the organization have access to the PreVeil accounts on.

  • This allows an administrator to audit all the access points within their organization in one place.

  • Clicking on the Export button will create a CSV file that will provide information about these access points.
