# Device Management
The **DeviceManager** module provides APIs for distributed device management.
System applications can call the APIs to do the following:
- Subscribe to or unsubscribe from device state changes.
- Discover peripheral untrusted devices.
- Authenticate or deauthenticate a device.
- Query the trusted device list.
- Query local device information, including the device name, type, and ID.
- Publish device information for discovery purposes.
> **NOTE**
>
> - The initial APIs of this module are supported since API version 7. Newly added APIs will be marked with a superscript to indicate their earliest API version.
> - The APIs of this module are system APIs and cannot be called by third-party applications.
