Move Device between Projects

Move one or more devices from one JFrog Connect project to another.

As you organize and maintain your fleet, you may want to move devices from one project to another. You can move devices easily using the procedure below.

When you move a device, the following information is moved with it: device name, MAC address, IP address, location, description, device OS, UUID, and application name and version. Other information that is associated with the specific project, such as tags, monitoring, alerts, deployments, and deployment history, will not be moved with the device. Any tags, monitoring, or alerts required will have to be configured in the new project.

Prerequisites

  • At least two projects defined in your account and one or more groups defined in each project.

  • You have the following Project Permission in your current project and in the destination project: Register new devices and Move devices to other projects.

Step 1: Set Filter

Before you choose specific devices to move, you need to set the main device filter to display devices in the relevant segment of your fleet.

Go to the Devices page and create a filter that will display all the devices you want to move. You can use any of the filter criteria available (groups, tags, etc.) to create a display that is most useful to you for marking the devices.

Step 2: Choose Devices and Move

To choose your devices and move them, do the following:

  1. On the left side of the Devices table, mark the checkboxes next to the devices that will be moved. You can use the checkbox at the top of the column to mark all or unmark all of the devices.

  1. Click Move to Project.

  1. In Move Devices to Another Project, choose the parameters below and apply them.

    • Destination Project: The name of the project to which you are moving the device(s). The dropdown list will display only the projects in your account where you have permission to register devices.

    • Destination Group: The name of the group in the destination project where you are moving the devices.

After you have applied the move, you can switch to the other project and see that the devices appear in the Devices table. If you do not see them, you can search for them in the Search bar or apply a different filter to the Devices table.

Connect API

You can also use the Move Device request in the Connect API to move devices from one project to another. Move Device moves a single device to a project and group that you specify.
