These users have specific access rights pre-set (such as, record rules and restricted menus), and
usually do not belong to the usual Odoo groups.

User devices
============

For security purposes, when a user logs into the database, the various login information, such as
the IP address, is stored in the user's profile. It is best practice to check this periodically, to
ensure all access is from the user, and no one else has accessed the database.

To check the logged-in devices, click the user icon in the upper-right corner, and click
:guilabel:`My Profile`. This opens the user's profile in the **Settings** app. Click the
:guilabel:`Devices` tab to view a Kanban list of all devices the user has logged into the database
with. Any device currently logged into the system displays a green circle next to the device name on
the Kanban card.

Click on a card to view the details for the device. Each card displays the :guilabel:`User` name,
the :guilabel:`Name` of the device, the :guilabel:`Last IP Address` used as well as the
:guilabel:`Linked IP Address`. It also shows the :guilabel:`First Activity` and :guilabel:`Last
Activity`, which shows when the device first logged into the database, and the last time it was
active on the database.

If a device is legitimate and should be retained, click :guilabel:`Save`.

If the device is legitimate but should **not** be retained, and does not pose a security risk, click
:guilabel:`Delete`.

Revoke devices
--------------

If a listed device is **not** a legitimate user device, and could be a potential security risk,
remove the device and revoke access by clicking the :guilabel:`Revoke` button.

A :guilabel:`Security Control` pop-up window loads, asking to `Please confirm your identity by
entering your password`. Enter the user's password, then click :guilabel:`Confirm Password`.

The device disappears from the :guilabel:`Devices` tab and can no longer be used to log into the
database.
