What's the difference between the Desktop App and the Admin Dashboard?

The desktop app protects you personally: your accounts, your devices, your internet connection, etc.

The Admin Dashboard is for managing your overall team's security. It gives you a high level overview of your organization's security health and allows you to see and respond to security issues.

The Dashboard will display all Admin Tasks that need your attention or Approval. Lockwell provides you with manual control over important security actions.

The Dashboard will also highlight your Team's Security posture and issues so you are always aware of any potential security risks to your organization.

From your Admin Dashboard you can quickly access the desktop app by clicking on the Open Desktop App button on the bottom left of the admin dashboard.

The Desktop App will display your issues and provide you with recommendations to improve your personal security.
