# Device management
From the view **Devices** you can perform administrative operations on registered devices.
The available operations allow you to edit device information, change its assignment in the organizational structure, and remove the device from eAuditor.
### Available operations
| Operation | Application |
| ---------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Edit** | Allows you to change the information saved for the device. |
| **Delete** | Removes the device from eAuditor Cloud. |
{% hint style="info" %}
Available operations may depend on the permissions you have and the system configuration.
{% endhint %}
### Editing a device
Editing allows you to change the information saved for the device.
{% stepper %}
{% step %}
#### Find the device
Go to **IT Infrastructure > Devices** and find the device whose data you want to change.
If needed, use the search or filters.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
#### Select Edit
Open the operations available for the device and select **Edit**.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
#### Change data
Enter the required changes in the form.
The scope of available information may depend on the device type.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
#### Save changes
Review the entered information and save the form.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
After saving, the updated data will be available in eAuditor.
### Assigning a device
You can assign the device to the appropriate element **of the organizational structure** or **a user**.
This allows you to organize devices according to the structure used in the organization and the owner.
{% stepper %}
{% step %}
#### Select a device
Go to **IT Infrastructure > Devices** and find the device you want to assign.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
#### Select Edit
Open the available operations.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
#### Specify the place in the structure or the user
Select the appropriate organizational unit or user.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
#### Confirm the assignment
Review the selected item and confirm the operation.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
After saving, the assignment information will be visible on the device.
### Assigning from the detail card
The user and organizational structure can also be assigned directly from the device detail card.
{% stepper %}
{% step %}
#### Open the device card
Go to the view **Devices**, and then click the name of the device you want to manage.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
#### Assign the device owner
In the **Overview** tab, find the **Owner** section and click **Edit**. Then select the user who uses the device or is responsible for it.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
#### Assign organizational structure
In the **Assigned structure** section, click **Edit**, and then select the appropriate unit, such as a branch, department, or location.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
{% hint style="info" %}
Assigning an organizational structure makes it easier to filter devices, prepare reports, and organize assets according to the organization's structure.
{% endhint %}
#### Device owner and IT custodian
In the **Users** you can independently assign the device owner and its technical custodian:
* **Owner** - the user who uses the device or is responsible for it.
* **IT Admin** - the administrator or IT custodian responsible for technical support, configuration, and oversight of the device.
{% hint style="warning" %}
Roles **Owner** and **IT Admin** have different meanings. The owner identifies the device user, while IT Admin defines the technical custodian. The same person can perform both roles, but it is not required.
{% endhint %}
{% hint style="info" %}
Assigning a person in the field **IT Admin** does not automatically grant them administrative permissions in eAuditor Cloud. User account permissions are configured separately.
{% endhint %}
### Removing a device
If a device should no longer be available in eAuditor, you can remove it from the system.
{% hint style="warning" %}
Before deleting, make sure the correct device has been selected and its data is no longer needed.
{% endhint %}
{% stepper %}
{% step %}
#### Find the device
Go to **IT Infrastructure > Devices** and find the device you want to delete.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
#### Select Delete
Open the operations available for the device and select **Delete**.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
#### Confirm the operation
Make sure you are deleting the correct device, and then confirm the operation.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
### Operations on multiple devices
In the view **Devices** you can select one or more devices and then perform the available operation for the selected items.
{% stepper %}
{% step %}
#### Select devices
Select the devices to which the operation should apply.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
#### Select an operation
Select the appropriate action from those available for the selected devices.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
#### Review the selection
Before confirming, make sure the correct devices have been selected.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
#### Confirm the operation
Confirm execution of the selected action.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
{% hint style="warning" %}
For bulk operations, pay particular attention to the selected items. The operation will be performed for all selected devices.
{% endhint %}
### Frequently Asked Questions
Can I change device information?
Yes. Find the device in the view **IT Infrastructure > Devices**, open the available operations and select **Edit**.
Can I change the device assignment?
Yes. Use the Edit operation and indicate the appropriate element of the organizational structure.
Can I perform an operation on multiple devices at the same time?
Yes, if the given operation supports multi-device actions. Select the appropriate items, and then choose the available operation. Go to [**multi-device operations**](#operacje-na-wielu-urzadzeniach)**.**
Why don't I see the selected operation?
Operation availability may depend, among other things, on the permissions you have and the system configuration.
What should I do if I accidentally selected the wrong device?
Before confirming the operation, clear the selection for devices that the action should not apply to.
For bulk operations, always check the list of selected devices before performing it; the system informs you of the number of selected items above the table.
Can device deletion be undone?
Before deleting a device, make sure its data is no longer needed.
If a device was deleted by mistake, how it is restored in the system depends on the method used to register the device.
More information can be found in the article **Adding devices**.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://eaclouddoc.eauditor.eu/eacloud-docs-en/features/it-infrastructure/devices/device-management.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
