During some experimentation with the dismiss action under device status on the devices screen, an important device ended up in rejected status. When I click “Accept, dismiss or decommission this device”, it only gives the option to decommission the device. What can I do to unreject my device?

Hi @ckelloug2,

If you decommission the device, it will then request to be admitted on the next polling interval. You will just need to manually admit the device once the request is visible in the “pending” tab.
