The error message was (see the screenshot at the bottom):
There was a problem updating the device authorization status: [object Object]
The steps I followed were:
Went to the devices page
Clicked create a virtual device for now
Clicked “Copy to clipboard”
Pasted the code into a terminal and press return
Went to the pending device list
Tried to accept the device
The first time I tried with an older version of docker that was already installed, but I tried again with the latest version and the result was the same.
I also cannot dismiss or reject devices, even after shutting them down.
thanks for trying Mender.
since we cannot replicate the problem, I would ask you to provide a screenshot of what happens on the web console (e.g.: to access it in Chrome click with the right mouse button somewhere on the page and choose “Inspect”), I would need the screenshot from the “Console” and “Network” tabs as you press “Accept” to accept the device.
@gphillips-a2e, just to confirm, are you logged in as the admin user? I could image you can get these type of errors if you are logged in as a read-only user, which does not have permissions to accept devices.
I cannot find anything in the settings or profile which says whether I am admin user, but someone else created my account so it is possible that I am not. How can I tell?
