## Blocking Devices
|
|
|
|
To block a device that has been compromised or lost:
|
|
|
|
1. Navigate to the device in your client list
|
|
2. Click the Action Menu (three dots)
|
|
3. Select **Block**
|
|
|
|
When you block a device, it is immediately moved to a restricted list and loses access to all resources or the ability to connect.
|
|
|
|
## Archiving Devices
|
|
|
|
Devices cannot be permanently deleted from Pangolin. Instead, you can archive devices to remove them from your active client list.
|
|
|
|
To archive a device:
|
|
|
|
1. Navigate to the device in your client list
|
|
2. Click the Action Menu (three dots)
|
|
3. Select **Archive**
|
|
|
|
### Why Archive Instead of Delete?
|
|
|
|
Pangolin maintains a permanent audit trail of all devices that have accessed your resources. This ensures:
|
|
|
|
- Block rules remain effective even for archived devices
|
|
- Security logs and access history are preserved
|
|
|
|
Archiving keeps your interface clean by hiding inactive or duplicate devices while maintaining the integrity of your security records.
|
|
|
|
## Filtering
|
|
|
|
You can filter your client list to show only active, blocked, or archived devices.
