# Prerequisites

Complete these checks before you schedule a rollout.

### Access and permissions

Confirm that you can create or manage rollouts for the target estate.

See [User privileges](/verifone-central-device-management/verifone-central/rollouts/manage-rollouts/user-privileges.md).

### Device readiness

Before you continue, confirm that:

* the target device is already boarded in **Device Management**
* the device status is **Pending Hierarchy** or **Active**
* the device is visible in the customer, estate, or hierarchy you manage

### Rollout payload readiness

Confirm that the item you want to deploy is ready:

* software packages are already uploaded before software rollouts
* content packages are already uploaded before content rollouts
* parameter changes are already defined before parameter rollouts

See:

* [Software management](/verifone-central-device-management/verifone-central/rollouts/software-management.md)
* [Content management](/verifone-central-device-management/verifone-central/rollouts/content-management.md)
* [Parameter management](/verifone-central-device-management/verifone-central/rollouts/parameter-management.md)

### Scheduling checks

Before you start the rollout, confirm that:

* the selected device does not already have a conflicting rollout
* you know whether the rollout targets one device or a batch
* you are ready to choose the download and install schedule

### Next step

When these checks are complete, continue to [Schedule rollouts](/verifone-central-device-management/verifone-central/rollouts/schedule-rollouts.md).
