Understanding the Authorization Process

After adding a device, you'll encounter one of three authorization statuses:

Authorization Requested

Your request has been sent to the device administrators. This is normal for shared systems where multiple users have access. Wait for an existing administrator to approve your request.

Master Access Granted

You've been approved as a device administrator. The device will now appear on your home screen with full access privileges.

Duplicate Device

The system detected this device is already linked to your account. Simply return to the home screen and look for your device in the list. If you are unable to find your device, select the 3 menu lines on the top left of the screen, then select System Options and Restart.
