Authorizing devices

If there are any notifications in the top banner dropdown for unauthorized devices or devices that require authorization, clicking the notification redirects the user to the System > Firmware & Registration page. In this example, two devices require authorization.

On the Firmware & Registration page, the unauthorized devices are grayed out, and their status is Unauthorized.

To authorize a Security Fabric device from the Firmware & Registration page:

1. Go to System > Firmware & Registration, and select an unauthorized device.

2. Click Authorization > Authorize (below the donut charts), or right-click and select Authorization > Authorize.

   A notification appears when the device is authorized.

   

3. Refresh the page. The device's status should now be Online.

   

To deauthorize a Security Fabric device from the Firmware & Registration page:

1. Go to the System > Firmware & Registration page, and select a device.
2. Click Authorization > Deauthorize.

   

3. Refresh the page to see that the device has been deauthorized.
