Application denylist
Applications that are not approved for installation and usage in the IT environment can be specified in the Application denylist view. Unwanted software, for example, game and poker applications, can be monitored with the denylist functionality.
The Application denylist view consists of two tabs according to the following table.
Tab | Description |
|---|---|
Criteria | Used for specifying criteria that result in a denylist of unwanted applications. A denylist criteria applies to an application name or an application type. |
Applications (result) | Displays all applications affected by the denylist criteria. |
Unwanted applications are automatically identified based on added criteria (application name or application type). Also, applications can be manually added to the denylist.
