You choose it first when you connect devices in Getting Started, and you
can change it later in Settings → Privacy. Pages that depend on it
show a small line, such as People: Coded, with a Change link.
Coded
In coded mode every list shows a code in place of the name. Codes are stable, so you can follow one device or person across events without knowing who it is. To see who a code is, a person withendpoint.identity.reveal.request
asks for a time-boxed reveal on a recorded occasion and gives a reason.
A second person with endpoint.identity.reveal.approve decides it, and
never their own request. The name is shown to the requester alone, for
the window, and every read is in the audit trail. Where the works
council module is on, the approver must also hold the works council role.
See Endpoint permissions.
Counts only
Counts only keeps the evidence and removes the people. The platform enforces it, not just the console: the API refuses a request that would return a person or a device.What you see
- Weekly totals by AI service and by department, over the last 4, 12 or 26 weeks.
- The Shadow AI inventory, for services seen by at least 5 people.
- Fleet counts by protection state, operating system and agent version.
- Policies, group definitions, alerts without identity, the audit trail with every monitored person shown generically, enrollment and installs.
What you do not see
- The events feed and event detail.
- The device list, the device page and per-device actions.
- The person page and Workforce rows, and per-person requests and exceptions.
- Any per-person or per-device export, report, search result, alert or email.
- Live charts, which are replaced by the weekly figures.
The cohort floor
Every breakdown follows one rule: a group is shown only when it has at least 5 people in it. Groups under 5 are merged into Other, and if Other would itself be under 5, the smallest shown groups join it. If a whole breakdown is under 5, nothing in it is shown. A single count that falls under the floor reads fewer than 5. Only closed weeks are published, and a published week is computed once and never changes. The current week is never shown, so reloading cannot reveal what one person did in the last hour, and later deletions or department moves cannot be subtracted from a week that is already out. Because overlapping groups could be subtracted to isolate one person, breakdowns are by department and AI service only. There is no breakdown by directory group, no cross-tab, and no free filter by user or device.Leaving counts only
Moving from counts only to coded or named is a request, not a save, because it would show people a workspace had promised not to show.- It takes effect after a 30-day notice period. The workspace stays in counts only until then, and the request can be cancelled.
- Where the works council module is on, a works council member must approve the request before the notice period starts.
- People are told on their devices before any new data is coded or named, and the notice says from which date.
- The request is recorded in the audit trail at high severity.
- Everything recorded while counts only was on stays totals only, for good. It is never shown per person in any later mode: events, device timelines, per-person counts, exports and reports all use the weekly figures for those weeks.
