Device Management Issues Resolved in 2021.06

The following issues were resolved for the management of devices in the 2021.06 release.

Additional Improvement in the Enforcement of User Permissions When Editing Devices

In the 2021.04 release, a change was included to allow strict enforcement of a customer user's permissions in the End-User Portal, where the user's permissions might vary between accounts. (This enforcement is enabled using the option System > Configure > End-User Portal Setup > Devices Page > Enforce device management permission across accounts.)

In this release, a further improvement has been applied to this change, so that if a user lacks permissions to return or generate licenses, but can otherwise edit a device, these specific restrictions are also enforced strictly for each account.

Updating Device “Site name” Property to Blank Now Handled Properly

Previously, if you changed the Site name value for a device to a blank, the edited property reverted to its original value instead of maintaining the blank. This issue occurred when you made the change either through the Devices UI in the Producer Portal or End-User Portal or through the updateDevice method in the ManageDeviceService SOAP web service. This issue no longer occurs.
