Free Edition The "Devices for Approval" tab, located within the "Computers" view, displays a list of computers with the Endpoint Central agent installed, awaiting approval from the system administrator. Approval is necessary for establishing communication with the Endpoint Central server. Once approved, these computers move to the "Managed Computers" category, where server configurations are applicable.
In cases where the Endpoint Central agent is installed on a client computer without the system administrator's knowledge, the "Devices for Approval" feature ensures that further communication with the server is established only after approval. Computers in the approval queue have the agent installed, but the server rejects all status updates until approval.
To activate approval settings, navigate to the web console: Agent -> SoM settings -> Approval Settings -> Enable "Devices for Approval" option. Without enabling this option, all computers with the installed agent will automatically move to Managed Computers. Note: For versions below 11.3.2414.01, find these settings under Endpoint Central -> Agent -> Agent Settings.
Once enabled, go to Computers -> "Devices for Approval" Tab. Here, you can approve or decline computers for management. When declined, communication with the server will be terminated.
The "Devices for Approval" tab appears under Computers only when the "Devices for Approval" option in SoM settings-> Approval Settings is enabled.
