When the following message shows up

Device "device-name" isn't registered in your developer account

The device must be registered in order to be included in a provisioning profile.

there is a "Register Device" button. Does it require Admin role to register the device?

Does it require Admin role to register the device?

According to Developer Account Help > Register devices > Register a single device, you must be either Account Holder or Admin.

Thanks Eskimo!
I also verified it by trying it with a non Admin and non Account holder account and I got an error.

After doing some additional checks it turns out that both App Manager and Developer roles can register UDID if they have access to Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles.

Role Permissions list under the Search for "Add UDIDs" item

IMHO, that's a shame because it basically means that there is no control over the devices added to the account since Developers are responsible for adding their own devices.
