1. Usage Scenario
To ensure that all the devices access to your applications are secured and managed, ESA offers this page for administrators to authorize or block the devices. We offer 3 ways to authorize devices:
| Authorization Method | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Authorize by Device List | Pre-register a list of devices before user login. Once a device's MAC has been added to the list, when the user login to ESA client with the device, the device will be automatically authorized. We can add device by MAC address |
| Authorize by User | Setup the conditions to verify if the user has the permission to add authorize device by themselves. When the users meet the pre-configured conditions and login to ESA, they will be given the option to add authorize device by themselves. |
| Authorize by Administrator | It configures the device authorization common settings for the device that are manually authorized by administrators from device list. |
