How to map a user's Machine ID in Workstatus
Overview
The Machine ID identifies a user's during Workstatus app installation through MDM (Microsoft Intune). Mapping it to a Workstatus user account lets Workstatus associate that machine with the correct member automatically.
Before you start
- You have admin access to the Workstatus dashboard.
- The user already exists as a member in Workstatus.
- You have the Machine ID of the users.

- To review earlier changes, open Audit Logs at the top right of the page.
Troubleshooting
Problem | What to check |
|---|---|
Save icon is greyed out | Enter a Machine ID in the field first. The icon is active only when the field has a value. |
Machine isn't linked after installation | Confirm the Machine ID matches the Mac exactly, with no extra spaces or typos, and that it is saved under the right member. |
Member is missing from the list | Add the member under Members & Roles first, then return to this page. |
Import fails | Use the downloaded sample file and keep its column layout unchanged. |
