Block Apps

You can block applications through settings and policies, or through the App Discovery Report. Application settings is a policy component that enables you to control supported apps, regardless of usage, at the policy level. The App Discovery report allows you to review apps and control apps individually.

To control an application, you must first enable the application within an Umbrella policy. If an app is not present in an application list setting or does not have the Edit app controls or Control this app option in the App Discovery report, you cannot block the app. If you need to block an app that is not found in Umbrella, contact [email protected] to request it. For more information about the applications managed by Umbrella, see Controllable Apps.
