# Managing Clients
## Wireless Clients
EnGenius Cloud provides management views that collect information about connected clients in your organization/hierarchy view/network.
Click **Manage** -> **Clients** to access this screen and double-click the organization/hierarchy view/network on the tree to change the scope.
### Filtering the Clients List
The list of clients can be customized based on time intervals, and the chart can be customized based on time intervals and SSIDs. To change these parameters, use the appropriate dropdown menu at the top of the screen.
### Searching for Clients
You can search for a client in the current client list by using the search. You can search by any parameter included in the search options, and it will attempt to match your query across all fields. You can also specify multiple parameters by clicking on the icon in the search box, as seen below:
### Block Clients
This allows you to block clients on the current SSID that clients connected.
Once you want to unblock clients, please go to **Configure** > **SSID** > **Access control** to delete the Mac Address from the Block list.
### VIP Clients
This allows you to make clients VIP on the current SSID or on Network-wide that clients are connected.
Once you want to delete clients from the VIP list, please go to **Configure** > **Access control** to delete the Mac Address from the VIP list.
### Kick Clients
If you don't want to block clients permanently, you could just kick them so that they can connect again if they want to.
## Wired Client
This will display the clients that are directly connected to the downlink port on switches.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://doc.engenius.ai/home-cloud-user-manual/managing-devices/managing-clients.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
