    • Provided that this device is still present in the Securepoint Portal
      • This device will be marked with the icon Signed out
    • If you want to prevent the transfer of settings for a specific device, it is necessary to remove the device from the system before it is re-enrolled

    Note: When a device is passed to a new user, it is important to update the user assignment in the system. Otherwise, the new user could gain access to the data and accounts of the previous user.
