Each machine client is provisioned with a unique identifier (ID), secret, and endpoint. The client uses those three values to establish a secure, encrypted connection to the server. **Machine client credentials can not be shared across different clients**. User devices do not use machine client credentials. A person logs in with their Pangolin user credentials, or with an external identity provider, through the web login flow in the client. That login creates a session tied to their account. The session is not shown in the dashboard and cannot be regenerated. To disconnect a user device, have the user log out in the client.
