Why couldn't I apply some actions for devices?

Some device actions are only applicable for certain agent versions and if certain settings are enabled on a policy which devices assigned to. If you perform an action that is not applicable to a device, the system will throw an error message.

Please refer to the below table for the requirements of device actions.

Action	Agent supported	Settings required
