Manager Cloud Allowing devices

Hi, All
Is there any way that I can allow certain devices and not allow other devices to access to login to specific businesses

Access to businesses is managed by user Id and password not by device.

Why would you restrict the devices a user can use to access his business?

There are few users who have to work only on the devices provided by the company

EDITED: Noticed in subject that you use Cloud edition. @joe91 explained the way users are allowed / restricted access. I am not sure why it matters what system they are using to access the Manager files but that is for you to decide / control. So if you only want them to access from devices you give them then the only way I can advise you to do is to log them in and out of Manager yourself and never give them a username or password. Please note that I am not aware of any accounting application (Quickbooks, Xero, Wave, Oracle Finance, SAP, etc.) restricts access by device. Most actually provide apps for mobile phones in addition to the desktop and server access.

There is actually a way if you control the Server hardware and that is to restrict access to it by IP and MAC address (each device has one). See info at 20.04 - Allow specific mac address access to remote server through the ubuntu firewall - Ask Ubuntu

With a server edition you can use nginx to block access based on devices’ types or MAC addresses. But I fail to understand how this can be useful. You better set up a VPN with openVPN which will grant you tons of security settings.

Indeed @Davide, openVPN is preferred.
