# How to manage devices

In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to manage devices that have already been created in the Segura™ platform, focusing on the options to edit, clone, disable, or reactivate a device.

## Edit a device

1. On Segura™, in the navigation bar, hover over the **Products menu** and select **Devices**.
2. In the side menu, select **Devices**.
3. On the list of devices on the main screen, select the device you’ll edit by clicking **Edit**, in the **Actions** column.
4. The screen for the **Device** will appear.
5. Make the desired changes.
6. Click **Continue** and **Save**.

## Clone a device

1. On Segura™, in the navigation bar, hover over the **Products menu** and select **Devices**.
2. In the side menu, select **Devices**.
3. On the list of devices on the main screen, select the device you’ll clone by clicking on **Actions** button, then choose **Clone**.
4. In the modal, click **Yes**, and wait for the process to complete. A pop-up window will appear, indicating that you’ve cloned a device, and the access group policies will be updated.

          Info

          

Your cloned device will receive the same name as the original one, followed by the suffix `Copy XX`, where `XX` is a number to identify the cloned device.

## Disable a device

1. On Segura™, in the navigation bar, hover over the **Products menu** and select **Devices**.
2. In the side menu, select **Devices**.
3. On the list of devices on the main screen, select the device you’ll disable by clicking on **Actions** button, then choose **Disable**.
4. In the modal, click **Yes** and wait for the process to complete. A pop-up window will appear, indicating that you’ve deactivated a device, and the access group policies will be updated.

          Info

          

Passwords associated with the disabled device will also be disabled.

## Activate a previously inactivated device

1. On Segura™, in the navigation bar, hover over the **Products menu** and select **Devices**.
2. In the side menu, select **Devices**.
3. In the list of devices, filter for inactive devices by selecting **Disabled** in the **Status** drop-down menu.
4. On the list, in the **Actions** column, click on **Activate** from the drop-down menu.
5. Click **Yes** in the confirmation modal.

The system will display a success message and move the device to the list of active devices.

          Info

          

Note that when the device is reactivated, the credentials previously linked to that device won't be reactivated automatically. To activate them, you need to access the credentials report in **Products menu > Reports > Credentials > Overview**.

## Actions available

You can perform several actions from the device list, such as **Edit**, **View**, **Clone**, and **Disable** a device, and additionally, **Add a credential**.

To access the device list, follow the steps below:

1. On Segura™, in the navigation bar, hover over the **Products menu** and select**Devices**.
2. In the side menu, select **Devices**.
3. Identify the device you want to perform the actions on the devices list.

In the **Actions** column, you have the following options:

1. **Edit**: opens a screen with the **Device** form.
2. **View:** redirects to the device's credentials page. On this page, you’ll have access to all the credentials associated with the selected device.

          Info

          

On this page, you can perform all the actions related to a credential.

1. The last option is the drop-down menu. Clicking on this icon will give you the following options:
  1. **Clone:** clones the device.
  2. **Disable:** disables the device.
  3. **Add a credential:** add a credential to the device. This option will open the pop-up window with the **Credential** form.
