Hi All,

I may have missed it in the docs, but can someone explain the difference between “Dismiss” and “Reject” in the Devices tab?

Thanks!

Hi @brianPTL,

“Reject” moves the device to the “Rejected” tab and any future connection attempts will be ignore. “Dismiss” removes the device from the fleet but allows future connection attempts.
