Assigning Users to Devices

To use DEP and VPP, you must first migrate your users so that you have full use of the Users tab, and then assign users to devices. This allows you to track the user assigned to each device. You can then prompt users to register with VPP and assign the desired content to them. (For more information about migration, see the Migrating Users Knowledge Base article.)
