I am expecting around 2000 requests fro new devices over the next few weeks, is there a way to accept them all without accepting them individually in the devices tab?

Hi @jjsteele,

You can look into the preauthorisation mechanisms, alternatively use the set authentication endpoint ([Mender API docs](https://docs.mender.io/api/#management-api-device-authentication-set-authentication-status)) and automate for yourself.

Greets,

Thanks Josef. I’ll have a look there.
