Claiming device ownership through the nRF Cloud portal¶

This page explains how to create provisioning groups and claim devices using the nRF Cloud portal. See Claiming device ownership through the APIs if you want to use the APIs instead.

Provisioning groups¶

Note

Provisioning groups are separate from device groups in the rest of nRF Cloud.

Provisioning groups are referred to as tags in the nRF Cloud APIs.

To view your provisioning groups:

Log in to the nRF Cloud portal.
Select Identity and Provisioning in the left sidebar.

A panel opens to the right.
Select Provisioning Groups.

The Provisioning Groups page opens.

To add a new provisioning group:

Click the Add group button.

A pop-up opens.
Enter the group name and optional description.
Click Add group.

The new provisioning group is added. You can add devices to groups when you claim devices.

To edit a group:

From the Provisioning Groups page, find the desired group.
Click the gear icon at the end of the row for that group.
Select Edit to change the group's name or description.
Click Submit.

To delete a group:

From the Provisioning Groups page, find the desired group.
Click the gear icon at the end of the row for that group.
Select Delete.

Claiming devices¶

To claim a device:

Log in to the nRF Cloud portal.
Select Identity and Provisioning in the left sidebar.

A panel opens to the right.
Select Claimed Devices.
Click the Claim Device button.

A pop-up opens.
Select a key type, either Single or Bulk, depending on the number of devices:
- For a single key, copy and paste the claim token into the text box. Optionally, select a provisioning group from the drop-down menu.
- To claim multiple devices, drag and drop a CSV file containing the required information.
(Optional) Use the drop-down menu to add the device to provisioning groups.
Click Claim device.

The device is now claimed, and an entry appears on the Claimed Devices page.

You can now define the device's provisioning configuration.
