Hello everyone, I have few macOS devices enrolled in Hexnode, but it currently displays the default username. I’d like to update it to the real username. I can’t find any option to change the name.

You mean, change the name of the device or the user?

Hi @zariah.
You can change the default username assigned to the device to the desired username using the Change Owner action. You can find this action by navigating to Manage > Actions > Edit > Change Owner on your Hexnode UEM portal.

How is this different from the change ownership action?

Hi @amelia.
The Change Ownership action is specifically used to modify the device’s ownership type. Device ownership indicates whether a device is classified as personal or corporate.
