About the Device–Device User Association
A FlexNet Operations End-User Portal device can be associated with an end user or contact called the Device User. Associating a device with a device user allows an End-User Portal administrator to communicate with someone regarding the licenses on that device. For example, if the End-User Portal administrator needs a license for a new device but there are no licenses available, the administrator can search for all existing devices using that license and request that one of those device users return their license so it can be used on the new device.
With the proper combination of system configuration and user permission settings, a device user can be added, edited, or deleted via capability request, sync request, the End-User Portal,or Web Services. The same device user can be associated with multiple devices, but a device can only be associated with one device user. The behavior of this capability varies, depending on how the producer configures it.
An End-User Portal user with Edit user on device permission can edit the User field of a device.
When Device User Option is ON with validation, an End-User Portal user with Manage User permission can click the user name link—located below the User name—to display the Edit User page.
