End User Sharing for Device Access

Topic

This article explains how to assign ownership or device access to end users in NinjaOne.

Environment

NinjaOne Endpoint Management

Description

End-user sharing allows you to easily grant end users access to their own machines through NinjaOne. You can also assign device ownership to an end user for reporting purposes.

Granting access to a device is a separate process from assigning the device to a user. Multiple users can access a device, but you can assign responsibility for it to only one user.

Give a User Ownership of a Device

By assigning a device, you give ownership of it to someone. There are two ways you can assign a device in NinjaOne:

Assign Ownership from the Devices Search Page

To change a device's assigned user from the Devices search page, select a device and click Edit → Assigned user and select a new owner from the modal.

You can assign a user to multiple devices at once. The selected devices must belong to the same organization.
