Allocate Devices, Users and Endpoints in WatchGuard Cloud

Applies To: WatchGuard Cloud

Devices, users, or endpoints purchased in a license by a Service Provider account are stored in your inventory in WatchGuard Cloud. As a Service Provider, you can allocate devices, users, or endpoints from a license to your account or any account you manage. Inventory purchased on a single license from WatchGuard do not have to be allocated to the same account.

Your operator role determines what you can see and do in WatchGuard Cloud. Your role must have the Manage Inventory permission to view or configure this feature. For more information, go to Manage WatchGuard Cloud Operators and Roles.

For information on how to allocate devices, users, or endpoints from a license, go to the appropriate product topic:

Deallocate Inventory

When you deallocate inventory, you remove the allocated software from the endpoints in the account. Your account could become overallocated. In our software products, overallocation occurs when more users or endpoints are allocated than there are available in the inventory.

Tier-1 Service Provider accounts can become overallocated when an account they manage allocates more users or endpoints than there are available in the license. For more information on overallocation, go to Inventory Overallocation in WatchGuard Cloud.

To deallocate endpoints:

  1. From the Allocation table, select the account you want to deallocate users or endpoints for.
    The Edit Allocation page opens.
  2. To remove all inventory from an account, in the Quantity text box, enter 0.
  3. Click Save.
