End Point Control > Device Profiles
Create device profiles to configure authentication guidelines for users or groups of users based on various
global, group, or user attributes. For example, you can select groups that use an Antivirus program or users with
a specific Windows version.
Two kinds of profiles are available: Allow profiles and Deny profiles. Allow profiles identify attributes of the
client’s network that must be present before a user is authenticated, and Deny profiles identify attributes of
the network that cannot be present. If multiple profiles are defined for a group or user, connection to the
SMA/SRA appliance is granted only when a client’s environment fulfills all Allow profiles for the group or user
and does not fulfill any Deny profiles.
Use the End Point Control > Device Profiles page to manage device profiles.
