Blocking of applications can be implemented in different parts of the product:
- App Discovery—when reviewing apps that are in use in your organization.
- Application Settings—a policy component that enables blocking of all supported apps, regardless of usage. For more information, see Manage Application Settings.
Note: App blocking requires enablement within a policy.
