Taking action on a record for an unmanaged connection

Actions applied on an Ivanti Standalone Sentry connection record only impacts the user associated with the device in that record. The user using another app or the same user on another device is not impacted. You can take the following actions on connections from unmanaged devices:

Allow: Apply the action on a record that was manually blocked or blocked by configuration. Allows the user on the device in the record to access the ActiveSync server.

Block: Blocks the user on the device in the record from accessing the ActiveSync server.

Delete: Deleting a record removes the record from the list. However, if the device attempts to connect to the backend resource it is allowed or blocked depending on whether the Allow unmanaged devices to receive email and data setting is enabled or disabled.

Procedure 

1. In Ivanti Neurons for MDM, go to Devices > Unmanaged Connections.
2. Select a record on which you want to take action.
3. Click Action and select the action to apply.
