Device Ownership

The Device Ownership page offers a rigorous management state framework that enforces a single, definitive state (Managed, Unmanaged, or Out of Scope) for every asset, providing clear business context and reliable reporting.

The following details are provided for each rule:

• Ownership priority and status (see explanation in the Business Units page about priorities). The possible ownership statuses are:
  • Business Owned (Managed) - Devices managed by the organization
  • Personal (BYOD) - Personal devices such as mobile phones
  • Third-Party - Devices and servers managed by a third-party vendor
• Asset Count - How many assets are affected by this rule
• Rule Status - Active or Inactive
• When the rule was last updated and by whom

Editing an Ownership Rule

Hover over a rule row to edit it. Only the following fields can be edited: Description, Priority, Saved Query, and the Activate rule toggle.

The Ownership Asset Field

To see Ownership data from the Devices pages, add the Identifier: Device Ownership field to the Devices table (learn more about Setting Page Columns Display). You can also use this field for filtering in the Query Wizard.
