  • Thank you for reaching out to the community forum.

    About your query, see the comments below.

    see/check per device (/user) - Yes- depending on what type of configuration you've set after creating a peripheral control Policy (Users/Computers) will show as long as they're added to the said policy.

    What peripherals (s) had been blocked - You will be able to see which peripherals are being blocked depending on the config you've set up and your organization's needs.




    Allow one or more of the blocked device(s) - In the scenario that the device/user is currently added to a policy where the access is blocked, you can simply remove them from the policy and let them take the Base policy configuration.
    You can also create a separate policy where you can customize which peripheral you wish to be accessible/blocked on the said Device/Users.

  • If you need to narrow down the peripheral control events for a specific device or user, this can be done from the Logs & Reports page. The easiest way to get a filtered list is to use the following navigation.

    - Open the users or devices page
    - Open the concerned user/device
    - Select the "Events" tab
    - Click "View Events Report" on the upper right-hand side 

    De-select all events, and select to display only "Peripherals Controlled."

    To adjust what is allowed/blocked, the steps mentioned by Glenn will help.
