(12.01-en) Moving Devices in the IGEL UMS Web App

Since a device can only be stored in a single directory in the IGEL Universal Management Suite (UMS), you cannot copy devices, but only move them.

If profiles and apps are indirectly assigned to a device or revoked as a result of the device being moved to a different directory, the configuration of the device will change too. Moving an IGEL OS 12 device to another directory can lead to the uninstallation of apps.

The new configuration can take effect either immediately or when the device is next rebooted.

Menu path: UMS Web App > Devices


Devices are moved via drag & drop:

  1. In the Directory Tree, select a directory that contains the device to be moved.

  2. Select the relevant device.


  3. Drag the device to the directory required and drop it.
    The Move device dialog opens.

  4. Select when you want the changes to take effect.

  5. Confirm that you wish to move the device by clicking on Move.
