Assigning Content to Users
VPP assignments allow you to assign content purchased through VPP to users. This allows you to specify the content that you want to assign to each user so that it can be quickly distributed.
When you create a VPP assignment in the JSS, you choose a VPP account, and all content purchased for VPP-managed distribution using the account is automatically available. Then you specify the content that you want to assign, and the users you want to assign it to (called “scope”).
