Overview
The Radix Device Management Platform has the Manage Device Users command, which allows you to create or remove user accounts on a particular remote device. However, note that even after creating a new user account, the remote device user will still have to configure the additional user’s account by associating it with a Google account and applying permissions.
Note: You must have Administrator privileges to use this command to create and remove users on the remote device.
Accessing the Manage Device Users Command
There are several ways of accessing the Manage Device Users commands:
From the Device Dashboard
1. Click on the Devices icon in the sidebar menu. The Devices Table opens.
2. In the Devices Table, find the device to which you wish to add or remove a user.
3. Click on the row of the device displayed in order to open the Device Dashboard and click on Manage>Manage Device Users.
The Manage Device Users dialog box opens:
From the Device’s Three-Dot Menu
1. Click on the Devices icon in the sidebar menu to open the Devices Table.
