Assign Computers to Locations

In EmpowerID, all resources belong to a location—an organizational container used for managing access. Assigning computers to appropriate locations facilitates access management, delegation, and organizational reporting.

Default Computer Locations

When computers are inventoried from account stores, they are assigned to default locations based on their source system. For example, computers from an Active Directory domain follow this location path:

Anywhere/Default Organization/All IT Systems/Active Directory/[Active Directory Domain]

You can move computers to other locations that better align with your organizational structure.

Prerequisites

To assign computers to locations, you need the Initiator Access Level for the AssignComputersToLocations workflow.
