Modify a Profile

Enterprise Administrators can manually assign a profile to an Edge.

One scenario in which this is necessary is for Edge Staging Profiles. In this case, the Edge gets activated against the staging profile by default due to Zero Touch Provisioning. Enterprise Administrators must manually assign a final production profile to the Edge. For instructions on how to manually assign Profiles, see Provision a New Edge.
