Hi,
to follow-up this idea, I've created new Wiki page:

POC will follow.
Hi!
This is a great start!
So the goal of the feature is to provide a list of machine devices, but that sounds more like the end result on the screen rather than the user goal.
I'm missing some bits about what kind of workflows this enables, and for who.
What are some situations where you need to know this information? Is it for troubleshooting, for figuring out what replacement hardware to buy? etc. Why does the user want to detatch/reattach a particular device?
Some paragraphs about that would be awesome. I usually use made up sysadmin characters, and try to imagine their work scenarios.
If you need some inspiration, Aaron Weitekamp wrote some great user stories, their motivations and scenarios for the registry image signatures that really helped him, myself and Stef figure out some of the hard wrinkles of the problem.

It doesn't need to be long like his examples, just a paragraph or two is probably enough.
The second part is about the design. Right now it's a bit hard to imagine how it would look, just based on the text.
Would it be possible to draw up a rough sketch of how it would look on the screen?
Again, thanks for getting this started. Looking forward to the end result!
