Device Control Sections Overview

Overview​

The Device Control module in Netwrix Endpoint Protector is organized into several sections, each providing specific management and monitoring capabilities for devices, computers, users, and groups within your environment.

Device Control Sections​

  1. Dashboard: Offers an overview with graphics and charts related to Netwrix Endpoint Protector entities. You can select the start and end date for the data using the top-right calendars and view data in real time.

  2. Devices: View, sort, and export device lists in Excel, PDF, or CSV format. Use the Actions column to edit, manage rights, view device history, or delete a specific device.

  3. Computers: Filter, create, uninstall, or delete computers. Use the Choose action option to create a settings report, export a list of computers, or schedule an export.

  4. Users: Manage all users in the system. Users are defined as end-users logged on to computers with the Netwrix Endpoint Protector Client installed. New users are automatically added to the database for management.

  5. Groups: Manage all groups in the system. Grouping computers and users allows administrators to manage rights or settings for these entities more efficiently.

  6. Global Rights: Manage system-wide rights and settings that apply globally to all Netwrix Endpoint Protector entities.

  7. Global Settings: Apply settings globally to all Netwrix Endpoint Protector entities.

    • If no granular settings are defined for a computer and it does not belong to a group, it will inherit these global settings.
    • If the computer belongs to a group, it will inherit that group’s settings.

  8. Custom Classes: Create new classes of devices for easier management. This feature is especially useful for devices from the same vendor or product (same VID and/or PID).
