Hi!
Which is the best way to list all preauthorized devices on mender server using management apis?
I only need an array of mac addresses.
Thank you.

At the moment the quickest way that I found is to list all devices taking only status “preauthorized”.
Is it correct? Or do you have another solution?
thanks
