24.7 Editing a device

To enable use of the Edit Devices workflow, you must set the Allow device management from the MyID user interface option to Yes. See section 30.2, Devices page (Operation Settings).

To make changes to details stored about a device:

1. In the Configuration category, select the Edit Devices workflow.

   You can also launch this workflow from the Device Identities section of the More category in the MyID Operator Client. See the Using Device Identities workflows section in the MyID Operator Client guide for details.

2. Type all or part of the device name and click Search.

3. Select the device you want to edit from the list and click Edit Device.

   

4. You can change the Description, whether the device is active or not, its Model, its OS, and its DN. Other information cannot be changed as that is what uniquely identifies the device.

   

5. Click Finish.

6. If you want to specify an owner for the device:

   1. Click Yes on the dialog.
   2. Use the Find Person screen to select the owner.

   If you specify an owner, the device can be managed only by the owner; for example, only the owner can cancel a device identity. In addition, the device owner is used as the target of the request device identity job.
