This procedure associates a user with a phone or device profile.

1. Log in to the Admin Portal, then go to **Add Controlled Device to Cisco User**. 

2. At the **Username** drop-down, choose a user.
3. At **Device Type**, choose device (association type), either phone or device profile. 
4. At **Device Name**, choose an option from the drop-down. Options depend on the device type you selected. 

   .. note::

      Phones and device profiles available in the drop-down are only those that are currently unassociated (phones 
      that don't have an owner, or un-managed device profiles). 

5. Click **Save**.

   The device is added to the user as a controlled device and the device itself
   is updated with the owner ID and line owner, as applicable.
