Active Control

Active Control is the Core functionality of SAM.

It has three major sections and global search and filters

• Active Control

• Exceptions & Alerts

• Notifications.

First time the SAM app is configured and all services are executed, we should see all apps in the unknown and unmanaged state.

All the apps are displayed in the table Form with different options to filter apps and for operations allowed specific to the selected apps.
