Claim bulk devices

  • Article

Every device must be claimed into a catalog. Claiming the device associates its unique, immutable device ID with your catalog. The Azure Sphere Security Service uses the device ID to identify and authenticate the device.

If you have a large number of devices to claim, you can do this using bulk claim.

Note

You must have Contributor permissions to the catalog to be able to claim a device. The option is disabled if you do not have the required permissions.

Use the portal

    • Sign in to the Azure Portal.
    • To locate the Azure Sphere service, in the top search bar, enter and select Azure Sphere. The Azure Sphere page is displayed.
  2. Go to the Devices page to list all available devices.
  3. Select Bulk Claim from the menu at the top of the page.

Tip

If you do not have the template, select Download to download the CSV template file.

  1. Edit the CSV template file with the device IDs to be claimed. You can enter a maximum of 500 device IDs at a time.
  2. Select Claim to upload your file.

Bulk add device groups from comma-separated files

Download and fill in the bulk claim CSV template to successfully claim device groups in bulk. Your CSV template looks like this example:

Device ID
<device ID 1>
<device ID 2>
<device ID 3>

The rows in a downloaded CSV template are:

  • Device ID: This row of the upload template must not be removed or modified or the upload can't be processed.
  • <device ID x>: In each row, enter the device IDs of the devices you want to claim.

Use any text editor, or an application like Microsoft Excel, to open the template.csv file. Each row in the example is the device ID of the device you want to claim. Here's an example of the format for the CSV file:
