Device Administration
Twingate displays the devices your users connect to Twingate from in both the user detail page for an individual user and the Devices tab. On this page, we show information collected from the device, including, but not limited to, the name, make & model, Twingate client version, posture information, and which Trusted Profiles have been met.

Verified Devices
Twingate supports various integrations with EDR and MDM software to automatically mark devices as verified. In addition, Twingate allows admins to designate specific devices as manually verified via the Devices tab in the admin console or on a specific device page. Verified devices can be incorporated into Security Policies so that this status is taken into account.
This policy requirement can be enforced for any device with the Twingate client app, regardless of platform or location. For information on incorporating device verification into Security Policies, see the Device Security Guide.
Device active state
Twingate allows admins to archive or block devices, making device management easier. Archived devices are, by default, hidden from the Admin Console. Blocked devices are not allowed to authenticate with or access Twingate.
