Inventory Device Roles

The Inventory Device Roles page displays a list of all available device roles in IT Asset Management, and allows you to select what devices are counted as production or non-production roles for application recognition.

By default, production devices (the devices used for inventory) are assigned the production role. The rest of the device roles listed in the column (Development, Test, Training and so on) are assigned non-production roles.

To view the Inventory device roles page, navigate to Management > Discovery & Inventory > Inventory Device Roles.

No save button is available after making changes. Making the check box selection will automatically save and enforce the change. In order to make changes, the user will need the correct Inventory Configure/Modify access permissions.

The following table lists the default columns that are available in the Inventory Device Roles page. To see other columns, move them out of the column chooser.
