Blocking device for single SSID

[MarcP829]

Hi,

just wanted to block two devices from a single ssid and did that as following:

Directly after doing this, policy is showing "custom", couple of seconds later its showing blocked.

Over night, the devices were disconnected and I came back today, checked the dashboard and these devices are still in the forbidden SSIDs...

Policy column still shows "blocked", but when I select the devices and click on policy it shows following:

Within devices detail page it is showing this (like in this threat😞

So, for me it looks like this option does not work(?).

Furthermore at least one device should connect to a different SSID now, but it is not - like it is blocked for wifi in general.

Does it mean it will only be blocked for internet access, not for connecting to the specific SSID?

Now, also got this mail from Support...

I thought, if someone is blocked, he is not able to connect. But he/she is... Only can´t reach any resources...

Can anyone confirm this? @Brandon Svec

If I understand, they are saying the clients will technically connect to SSID, but be blocked from resources based on the policy. Is that what you are asking?

[MarcP829]

This is what I understand, too.

But I assumed a client won´t be even able to connect to the SSID.

Thats very misleading. Altough the client seem to have a wifi connection (well, it has, but no internet connection)

My goal is to deny to connect to a specific ssid.
