# Device Audits (Enrolled ChromeOS Devices and Mobile Devices)

## Devices audit 

GAT+ allows admins to audit ChromeOS and Mobile enrolled devices.

Admins will have control over who can sync with Google Workspace cloud services via a mobile device.

Device audits in GAT+ are broken into two areas, and Admin can take action on the enrolled devices.

[ChromeOS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrome_OS) devices

- Deprovision
- Disable
- Re-enable 

[Mobile devices ](https://gatlabs.com/knowledge/tech-tips/manage-the-mobile-devices-of-the-organization/)

- Block
- Remote wipe
- Wipe account
- Delete

These actions can only be taken if [Mobile Device Management](https://support.google.com/a/answer/6328699?hl=en) has been enforced within your Google Workspace Admin Console.

### Chrome OS Device Auditing

With ChromeOS Device auditing you can**edit details** of enrolled Chrome devices in bulk.

You can locate and find a Chrome OS device very quickly and view its details like serial number and last user.

Chrome OS Device management (and hence auditing) requires an additional [Chrome Management License from Google](https://support.google.com/chrome/a/answer/7017523?hl=en).

GAT also allows you to search the Chrome OS device by both ‘**ID**’ and ‘**Status**’ as well as all the other common GAT search criteria.

**Note:** One important point is that the user or the Admin sets the value for ‘User’ when setting up the Chrome OS device.

We strongly recommend you set it to the User’s email address, that way we can link it to the other ‘User’ audits.

#### Details 

When the “**eye**” icon is selected it shows ChromeOS device details. 

- General
- Hardware and OS

#### Edit denoted data

Edit the device settings to the ‘User’ value to be the email address of a user on your domain, whom you want to be associated with that device.
