Actions on User Devices
Disable Access
For active users, network admins can revoke the access for a user's existing device and restrict them from accessing MangoApps via the desktop and mobile client applications.
Click the Yes button to delete all saved MangoApps data (login information and files) remotely from a user's device, revoke the access and immediately log the user out from the desktop/mobile client application on the device.
The Device Status changes to 'Disabled' from 'Active'.
If the desktop/mobile client is running and the user is logged in, the user's data is deleted and the user is immediately logged out of the client.
If the desktop/mobile client is NOT running or the user is NOT logged in, the system waits to trigger the app data deletion and the Device Status changes to 'Disable Pending'. Whenever the user next accesses the client app, the app data deletion and disable request is triggered.
Cancel Disable Request
For user devices with pending disable requests, network admins can cancel the disable request and allow access for a user's existing device for accessing MangoApps via the desktop and mobile client applications.
Click the Yes button to cancel the disable access request, app data deletion and allow access from the desktop/mobile client application on the device.
The Device Status changes to 'Active' from 'Disable Pending'.
Enable Access
For disabled user devices, network admins can regrant the access for accessing MangoApps via the desktop and mobile client applications.
The Device Status changes to 'Active' from 'Disabled'.
Delete App Data
For active user devices, network admins can delete all saved MangoApps data (login information and files) remotely from a user's existing device for the desktop and mobile client applications.
Click the Yes button to delete all saved MangoApps data remotely from a user's device.
The Device Status displays the last app data deletion time, for example, 'Last app data deleted 5 hrs ago' or 'Last app data deleted 17 days ago'.
If the desktop/mobile client is running and the user is logged in, the user's data is deleted and the user is immediately logged out of the client.
If the desktop/mobile client is NOT running or the user is NOT logged in, the system waits to trigger the app data deletion and the Device Status changes to 'Delete App Data Pending'. Whenever the user logs into the client application, the app data deletion is triggered.

FAQs
Does the user receive notification when the access is revoked for their device?
No, the system does not send out any notifications (a notification feed or an email) to the user for the revoked access of a device. However, the desktop and mobile client application displays a warning pop-up when the user tries to log into MangoApps via the device.
How does 'Disable Access' or 'Delete App Data' work?
Even if the desktop/mobile client is NOT running or the user is NOT logged in, when the network admin initiates a 'Disable Access' or 'Delete App Data' request; the system waits to trigger the app data deletion whenever the user logs into the client application next time. The diagram below illustrates the process and server interactions via a push notification and through an API call.
