List of User Sessions. Blocklist

In this chapter:

FindFace allows you to monitor user sessions and learn associated data, such as the connected device UUID, type of user interface, IP address, last ping time, and so on.

If necessary, you can add a device to the blocklist without deactivating the user account. The device block may come in handy in various situations. For example, if you want users to access the system only from their workplaces. Use the blocklist functionality to take your system safety to the next level.

Grant Permissions to Work with Sessions

A user’s access to the list of sessions depends on the granted permissions:

  • Administrator: can view and close sessions of all users

  • User with the all_own_sessions permissions: can view/close all sessions initiated with their username

  • User without the all_own_sessions permissions: can only view/close their current session

View User Sessions

  • device UUID
