Managing Device Allocation
Device allocation is commonly implemented at sites that require an additional
layer of device security. Typically, users must have authorization to access
allocatable devices.
The following task map points to procedures that enable, configure, and troubleshoot device
allocation. Device allocation is not enabled by default. After device allocation is enabled, see
Allocating Devices for instructions on allocating
devices.
