Managing a device in snapshot view

Managing a device in snapshot view

From the device list, you can view a limited amount of information, or snapshot, for one or more devices. You can perform multiple actions on a device in snapshot view. The actions include viewing the username and password for the device, adding tags, and viewing tickets.

Before you begin

First, go to the device menu and make sure that you have the correct account permissions to complete the tasks.

  • Go to your console's device menu. For more information, see Navigating to devices.
  • Make sure that you have any necessary account permissions and device access. Only the account owner, or a user with the Manage Users classic infrastructure permission, can adjust the permissions.

For more information about permissions, see Managing device access.
