Simultaneously refresh device certificates on multiple devices

Content

In previous releases, if a user had multiple devices that needed a certificate refresh, the administrator would have to select each device separately from the Device Details page and then manually enable the refresh for each individual device. For this release, the administrator can now select multiple devices and refresh certificates on devices all at once.

This release only supports updating all the certificates on devices. Future releases will handle specific certificate types (email, VPN, wifi). For this release, this feature only supports MDM policies. This feature updates MDM policies for device certificates, and MDM and Persona policies for user certificates. The Bulk action is used for device groups, not user groups. The Bulk action to refresh certificates requires that the administrator is assigned one of the following administrator roles: 

• Service Admin
• Admin level 2 
• Customer Admin
