  PingFederate doesn't provision or manage any devices in PingID.

- Merge devices

  If there is a conflict between the datastore and PingID for one of the managed devices, the datastore takes precedence.

  

When updating the user's "primary" device, the user has to choose it as their primary device again.

  The provisioner doesn't change devices with non-managed nicknames, such as devices added by the user or an administrator.

- Overwrite devices

  This behaves the same as **Merge devices**, except the provisioner removes all devices with non-managed nicknames, such as devices added by the user or an administrator. |
