Associating a Device with a Device User

When the Device User Option is enabled, the User field is visible and a device can be associated with an end user or contact called the Device User. Associating a device with a device user allows an End-User Portal administrator to communicate with someone regarding licenses on the device.

Note:When the Device user option is enabled (not set to Off), device user is in one of these formats:

•

Free-form string for On with no validation – see To associate a device with a device user—no user validation

•

Email address link for On with validation – see To associate a device with a device user—validated user

You can associate a device with a device user from the default view for a device or server page.
