Group policies on Security Appliance and Wireless networks can be automatically applied to Systems Manager MDM clients based on available tags. This allows even the network's treatment of a device to be handled from within the MDM platform.
If a network admin is using group policies in Dashboard or wants to block/whtelist certain types of devices, MR access points support applying custom policies per device type on an individual SSID. This article outlines how to block, whitelist, or apply custom policies to wireless clients based on the device type.
The Blocked Message is displayed only when a blocked client attempts to access a website. A client can be blocked by MR Access Points and MX Security Appliance. This article describes how to customize the default and client-specific blocked messages for MR or Combined Dashboard networks. The Blocked Splash page is static and is not customization at this time but the specific message can be configured.
Many network administrators will apply custom device policies to network clients, either to block/whitelist the device, or to create a custom group policy for a tailored network experience. As the network expands, it may be difficult to keep track of which devices have a custom policy, or a policy needs to be updated on an old client that doesn't appear in the clients list anymore.
