      • If set to True, you will see location history data from your devices that are coming from the LoRa provider.
      • If set to False, you will not see location history data from your devices that are coming from the LoRa provider.
        • It is only to restrict location data from the Lora provider. It is possible for you to set it toFalse and then someone or an application executes location.publish for that given device.
