Desktop & Mobile Access
Configuring the desktop and mobile app access settings
Overview
Network administrators have the capability to configure desktop and mobile application access settings for native Windows desktop and Mac clients within the Admin Portal. This functionality allows admins to enforce security measures by enabling IP-based access settings and Two Factor Authentication (2FA) configurations originally set in the 'Browser Access' tab. Additionally, admins can manage automatic upgrades for MangoApps Windows and Mac employees, ensuring users receive the latest software versions as they become available. By leveraging these controls, admins can tailor and enhance the security and functionality of the desktop and mobile applications used within their network, providing a secure and streamlined experience for users while maintaining control over access and updates. The flexibility to enable or disable specific features, such as automatic client upgrades, offers admins granular control over the desktop and mobile application environments to suit their network's needs and security policies.
