Removing a Cloud Service Provider

IT Asset Management (Cloud)
You may remove manually created cloud service providers from your enterprise.

To remove a cloud service provider from the list:

  1. Go to the IT Asset Management Settings General page (Administration > IT Asset Management Settings > General).
  2. Click the Cloud service providers tab.
  3. To the right of that cloud service provider's name, click the x icon.
    If this cloud service provider is currently in use, an advisory alert is shown. A cloud service provider is considered to be in use when one or more of the following is true:
    • The cloud service provider is selected in the property sheet of any license
    • The cloud service provider is identified in the property sheet of any inventory device
    • The cloud service provider is used in any points rule included in any points rule set.
  4. If an alert is shown, do either of the following:
    • Click Cancel to stop the process and keep the cloud service provider in the list. This ends the process.
      Tip: You may wish to add the Cloud service provider column to the All Inventory page and filter for the cloud service provider's name to identify linked devices. You can use the Licenses tab in an inventory device property sheet to find linked licenses that may also reference the cloud service provider; and the license properties of point-based licenses identify the points rule(s) in use.
    • Click Continue to prepare for the removal.
    With a removal:
    • Inventory devices linked to this cloud service provider are reset to be On-premises.
    • Licenses for which this is the only linked cloud service provider are reset to On-premises only; but for licenses linked to multiple cloud service providers, no change (other than this deletion) occurs.
    • A points rule that was linked only to this cloud service provider is removed (as it no longer serves any purpose); but for a points rule that also had any other links (to another cloud service provider, or for use on-premises), this cloud service provider is removed and other arrangements are unchanged.
  5. Click Save to complete the removal.
