Retain the device To reserve a device for exclusive use for a set period of time, select the Retain drop-down and choose a duration.

Once a device is retained, its status changes to Retained, and the countdown displays the remaining time along with the email address of the user who retained it. Be sure to release the retain when you are finished using the device. The cleanup policy (if activated) does not run in between sessions when a device is Retained.

A retain can be canceled either by the user who created the retain or by any user with the role permission to cancel retains. Restart private device To restart a private device, select Restart. Only users with the reboot private device permission can see this option. This option is only available for Private devices.
