As changes occur to the users in your replication environment, you need to change who eligible to access data remotely and thereby modify the device state over time.
| Scenario | Device management feature required |
|---|---|
| A user in the system loses, breaks, or receives a new device. | None. The registration of the device is automatic for replication environments. This registration occurs during synchronization. The administrator can lock or remove the device, as required. |
| A user has multiple devices associated with them, and you need to view those devices. | The Device User node Users tab allows you to open a View Devices dialog. All devices paired with that user ID are listed there. |
| A device has changed ownership from one user to another. | The Device User node Devices tab allows you to list all devices registered and active with Unwired Server. The administrator can delete the device and the old user from the system. |
| An RBS device needs to now support MBS applications in addition to RBS applications. | The Device User node Devices tab allows send an upgrade request that also allows the user to register the device with Unwired Server as a messaging device. You must then administer the device as both an RBS and MBS device. |
| A user is taking a short leave and you do not want to change the security configuration required for the package to temporarily disable access. | The Devices tab allows you lock and unlock the device account. Lock or unlock devices to control which users are allowed to synchronize data. |
