Advanced Identity Cloud

Device Profile Save node

Persists collected device data to a user’s profile in the identity store.

Use this node with the Device Profile Collector node to reuse the collected data in future authentications; for example, with the Device Match node and Device Location Match node.

You must establish the identity of the user before attempting to save to their profile.

A user profile can contain multiple device profiles. Use the Maximum Saved Profiles property to configure the maximum number of device profiles to persist per user. Saving a device profile with the same identifier as an existing entry overwrites the original record, and does not increment the device profile count.

  • In Advanced Identity Cloud and Ping Identity Platform deployments, the end user UI displays saved device profiles to end users.

  • In an AM standalone deployment, the PingAM UI does not display saved device profiles to end users.

    You can manage device profiles over REST, by using the /json/users/user/devices/profile endpoint for the realm.

    Use the AM API Explorer for detailed information about the parameters supported by the /devices/profile endpoint and to test it against your deployed AM instance.

    In the AM admin console, select the Help icon, and then go to API Explorer > /users > /{user} > /devices > /profile.
