Specify and move devices

When you manage devices in the Google Admin console, you can choose devices by various criteria, such as connection status, device location, and device model. You can also combine criteria for detailed searches, such as listing all devices connected to a particular meeting, finding devices of a certain model, or listing all offline devices in a specific office.

You can also use the Admin console to move devices among your organizational units.
