The following account in Matthew should give all an idea of the enemy's current allowance of authority.
Mat 4:8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
Mat 4:9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
Having shared this, I have read, where I do not recall, that Satan has power to the third heaven. Since I have no list of levels of heaven in my H=heart, I suffice it for myself that his power is at least in this age here for deception and worse, therefore I rely on the gift of faith and the protection afforded us allby faith.

Isa 14:12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
Isa 14:13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
Isa 14:14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.

Satan is the only one of those try to overthrow heaven that has been tried and found guilty - John 16:11 of judgment because the prince of this world has been judged - 2nd Thessalonians 2:3 original King James Version _ that day will not come except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition. ( these newer versions has changed the word perdition into lawless one, taking away the true meaning).
The angels are innumerable _ Hebrews 12:22 - other scriptures they are described as thousands of thousands. 1/3 of an innumerable host fell with Lucifer and were cast down to earth too, they haven't been judged - no where in scripture does it say they have.
Judgement is still pending on those angels that fell with Satan. And Satan is the accuser - could be considered as the prosecuting attorney - and he is doing everything he can to take as many to hell with him as he possibly can. God has allowed him certain freedom until the time set for Judgment Day arrives. Then and only then will Satan and all of the fallen, who did not receive redemption be cast into the lake of fire. As it is written - hell was created for the devil and his angels.
