6.The relationship addition is successful. Click on Finish to close the wizard.
7.After returning to the Credentials details view, you'll find your newly assigned device in the list.
You have successfully created a device-credential relationship. Credentials can also be assigned to networks, sites, resource groups, and other supported assignment types. The next chapter explains how to create broader credential assignments.
