Block a client ID from connecting to groups

You can temporarily block a client ID from connecting to a group or a set of groups for a specified time period. This allows a different client ID to access the devices in a group.

For example, User A has left work for the day, and remains connected to a group that User B needs to access. The Hub administrator can block the User A's client ID from the group that is needed by User B. User A is disconnected from the group, which allows User B to connect.

Blocking a client ID

When you apply a block to a group or groups, the client ID is automatically disconnected from the devices in the group(s). During the block time period, the client ID can't manually reconnect to the devices in the blocked group, and auto-connect is suspended. This enables another client ID to connect to the group(s).

When the blocked time period limit is reached or if the client ID is manually unblocked, and if no other client ID has connected to the group, any group that has auto-connect enabled automatically reconnects and the client ID is able to use the devices in those groups. The client ID can also manually reconnect to devices in the previously blocked groups.
