## Assigning a Tenant to an Object

It is simple to assign a Tenant to an existing object. This next example will add a Tenant to an existing Device.

1. Click on Devices in the left sidebar menu
2. Look for the Devices option and click on it
   - This will take you to the Devices page
3. Click on the specific Device you want to add the Tenant to
   - This will take you to the main page for that Device
4. On the specific Device page, click on the `Edit` button

Once on the page to edit the Device:

1. Make a selection from the `Tenant` drop-down menu selector
2. Click the `Update` button

This will take you back to the main page for the Device.

Notice that the `Tenant` field is now populated/updated.
