Moving Assets

Users can transfer eligible assets between projects within the same organization. This capability is subject to predefined rules and permissions, and only certain asset types can be moved within the Customer Resource Management.

Eligibility Requirements

To move an asset, the following conditions must be met:

• Product Team Approval: Only assets marked as Move Allowed by the product team can be transferred.
• Same Organization: Assets can only be moved between projects that belong to the same organization.

note

Before moving an asset, ensure it meets the eligibility requirements and that your account has the necessary permissions. Moving assets requires asset-specific management permissions, so make sure that your role includes the necessary permissions.

The following assets can be moved

Only roles containing the listed permission codes will be allowed to move these assets.

Assign Unassigned Assets

Depending on your organization configuration, assets ordered offline or using legacy, not Identity and Access Management enabled tools, are listed on the Resources page under the Unassigned Assets tab or they are assigned automatically to the default project.

note

If your organization is set up to assign offline-ordered assets to the default project, but the default project was deleted, the newly ordered assets won't be assigned automatically and will be available under the Unassigned Assets tab.

Note:

• The unassigned assets inventory is a separate organization and only Primary Admin users have access to it by default.
• Resources in the inventory can’t be modified.
• Resources can only be assigned in one direction, from the inventory to the root structure.
• End-customers and Resellers can have their own separate inventories.

To assign assets to a project:

1. Sign in to the Identity and Access Management portal as a Primary Admin user.
2. Click Resources, then click Unassigned Assets.
3. Locate the asset you want to assign and from the options menu select Assign Asset.
4. Select the project and click Submit.
