    The device directory provides a roster of your Prisma Browser devices and device groups.
    The page is tabbed so that you can choose which view you want to see: Devices or Device Groups. The Device Groups tab allows you to create and examine groups of devices. This becomes important when defining rules and policies.

    Manage Devices

    Manage Device Groups

    The Prisma Browser has a device group function that allows you to create different groups for different devices. Groups are dynamic. For example, you can set up groups for specific managed devices, different subsidiary devices, or contractors. As an administrator, you can exercise a considerable amount of flexibility in configuring the device groups you need within your organization. For example, groups meet changing business, operational, and organizational circumstances. You can use device groups either with sign-in rules to set the security bar for accessing Prisma Browser, or with posture-focused scoping for policy rules. For managing mobile device groups, see Create, Edit, and Delete Prisma Browser for Mobile Device Groups.
    1. From Strata Cloud Manager, select ConfigurationPrisma BrowserDirectoryDevices and then select the Device Groups tab.
      You can see the total number of Prisma Browser device groups displayed at the top of the page. By default, the Device Groups screen displays the first 50 device groups based on your sort order. Click Load 50 More to move to the next page of devices.
    2. Review the device group data.
      The Device Group Directory allows you to see the details of each device group, and includes the following information:
      • Name—The device group name.
      • Type—Prisma Browser, Mobile, Prisma Browser Extension, or Chromebook.
      • Attributes—Matching criteria for identifying which devices belong to the device group.
      • Created at—The device group creation date. Hover over the field to see the full timestamp.
      • Updated at—The device group last update date. Hover over the field to see the full timestamp.
    3. Add a device group.
      1. From the Device groups tab, click Add device group.
      2. Name the device group.
      3. Select whether you want to create a device group for Prisma Browser endpoints or for Mobile devices.
      4. Select and configure the attributes that devices must match in order to be part of the device group.
        Attributes match against device criteria, such as whether the device has disk encryption enabled, active endpoint protection, or complex password policy requirements. Enforcing device group membership based on attributes provides a granular way for you to ensure that the devices Prisma Browser allows have good security posture. There are different attributes depending on whether you are creating a device group for Windows and macOS devices or for mobile devices.
      5. Click Create.
      To edit or delete a device group, hover over the device group name in the director and click the pencil icon (to edit) or the trash icon (to delete).
    4. Investigate devices using search and filters.
      • Search by name or id.
      • Filter the device groups based on Type, Attributes, Created at, and Updated at.
    5. Export device details for offline investigation.
      1. Click the Export icon.
      2. In the Export window, select one of the following options:
        • Export all—Export all device group data.
        • Export filtered data—Export device group details based on the current filters.
