# Devices

On the PingOne Privilege platform, every registered device is associated with a user. Users can manage their devices through the user console.

## Viewing devices

To view your devices:

1. In the PingOne Privilege user console, go to **Directory > Devices**.

2. In the list, locate a device and click **View Details**.

   The device details page includes an overview of the device, such as **Operating System**, **Model**, and **Device Identifier**.

## Activating and deactivating a device

Deactivating a device temporarily prevents it from being used to access resources.

To activate or deactivate a device:

1. In the PingOne Privilege user console, go to **Directory > Devices**.

2. In the list, locate the device to deactivate and click **View Details**.

3. Toggle **Active Device** to activate or deactivate the device.

## Removing a device

Removing a device permanently unregisters it from the PingOne Privilege platform. The user must onboard the device again to use it.
