User devices
68+
============
69+
70+
For security purposes, when a user logs into the database, the various login information, such as
71+
the IP address, is stored in the user's profile. It is best practice to check this periodically, to
72+
ensure all access is from the user, and no one else has accessed the database.
73+
74+
To check the logged-in devices, click the user icon in the upper-right corner, and click
75+
:guilabel:`My Profile`. This opens the user's profile in the **Settings** app. Click the
76+
:guilabel:`Devices` tab to view a Kanban list of all devices the user has logged into the database
77+
with. Any device currently logged into the system displays a green circle next to the device name on
78+
the Kanban card.

82+
83+
Click on a card to view the details for the device. Each card displays the :guilabel:`User` name,
84+
the :guilabel:`Name` of the device, the :guilabel:`Last IP Address` used as well as the
85+
:guilabel:`Linked IP Address`. It also shows the :guilabel:`First Activity` and :guilabel:`Last
86+
Activity`, which shows when the device first logged into the database, and the last time it was
87+
active on the database.
88+
89+
If a device is legitimate and should be stored in the database, click :guilabel:`Save`. If the
90+
device should be removed from the list of devices, but is *not* a security threat (is a legitimate
91+
login), click :guilabel:`Delete`.

Revoke devices
97+
--------------
98+
99+
If a listed device is **not** a legitimate user device, and could be a potential security risk,
100+
remove the device and revoke access by clicking the :guilabel:`Revoke` button.
101+
102+
A :guilabel:`Security Control` pop-up window loads, asking to `Please confirm your identity by
103+
entering your password`. Enter the user's password, then click :guilabel:`Confirm Password`.
104+
105+
The device disappears from the :guilabel:`Devices` tab and can no longer be used to log into the
106+
database.
