Configure locations in Apple Business Manager
When you sign up for Apple Business Manager, the first location is automatically created (called the primary location) and reflects your organisation's name. As you expand your use to other locations or offices, you can add more locations and edit their information. Additional locations can mirror physical locations or organisational units. Apps and books can then be provisioned to specific locations. User roles such as Content Manager and Staff can be assigned to locations.
There are two roles that have privileges for managing locations: Administrator (the role with the most privileges) and People Manager (which has the next largest set of privileges after Administrator).
