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.

→ For more on Trusted Profiles, see the Device Security Guide.

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. 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

Devices in Twingate can have three different states to make device management easier: active, archived, and blocked. These states can be set both in the Admin Console or through the API.

State	Use cases	Admin Console Visibility	Protected Resource Access
Active	Default state Actively used devices	Visible	Requires sign in
Archived	Old or deprecated devices Devices that have not signed in or accessed a Resource in 90 days	Filtered out	Requires sign in
Blocked	Lost, stolen, or deprecated devices	Filtered out	No access

By default, all new devices are in an active state. This means that users on these devices can access protected Resources, provided that they meet the requirements of the relevant Security Policies.

Devices that have not signed in or accessed a Resource in the past 90 days are automatically archived. Alternatively, device states can manually be set to archived. This will automatically sign out the user from the device and will require the user to re-authenticate into the client in order to access protected Resources. Re-authentication will automatically return an archived device to its active state.

For lost, stolen, or deprecated devices, you can set their state to blocked. This will automatically sign out the user from the device. This user will be unable to sign into this device again and the device will lose access to protected Resources.
