How to change the Elements Agent settings (assign a new profile) for a device?
Resolution:
If you want to change the Elements Agent protection settings for a device, you can do that from the Elements Security Center portal by creating a custom device profile and then assigning that profile to your devices.
How to create a custom profile where you can modify the settings:
- Log in to the Elements Security Center portal: https://elements.withsecure.com
- Navigate to the Security configurations > Profiles page
- Click Create a profile (this uses the default profile as the starting point)
- Enter a name for the profile and edit the settings to your liking
- Click Create profile when you are finished
Once you have created a custom profile, you can assign it to all the devices where you want that profile's setting to apply:
- Navigate to the Environment > Devices page
- Select the devices from the Devices list (a menu will appear)
- Click Assign profile
- Select your custom profile
- Confirm by clicking Assign profile
Now all your selected devices have the settings which have been set in the custom profile.
