Delete a Device Document

Removes a specific device document using the provided document ID

    1. You cannot create net new device records via the Public API. You can only create devices
     in Drata via the Drata Agent or one of our native MDM integrations.
    2. You need to assess whether the device to which you want to map evidence already exists.
        a. If a device already exists in Drata, you can upload evidence to this device specifically
         using the device ID at this endpoint.
        b. If the device does not exist in Drata, you can only upload evidence to the personnel record.
         Use the same endpoint, but use the personnel ID as the device ID.
    3. If you are pursuing use case 2a, Drata will have already created the following mappings:
        a. Asset <--> user (as asset owner)
        b. Device <--> personnel (as device owner)
        c. Asset <--> device (i.e. all devices are assets, but not all assets are devices)
             i. You cannot create, modify, or delete these mappings via the API
    4. If you are pursuing use case 2b, the ability to create the same above mappings is reduced:
        a. Via the API, you can create the desired Asset <--> user (as asset owner) mapping
        b. Drata does not create, and you cannot create, the Device <--> personnel (as device owner) mapping
            i. Drata creates a default “null” device record, where the device ID here is the same as the
             personnel ID
            ii. This is why you use the personnel ID as the device ID when uploading device compliance evidence
             to the personnel record
        c. Drata does not create, and you cannot create, the Asset <--> device (i.e. all devices are assets, but
             not all assets are devices) mapping
            i. You cannot create, modify, or delete this mapping via the API
