How to Invite Users to Apple Volume Purchase Program
Apple VPP is a solution to manage apps and books on the organization's Apple devices. GoTo Resolve MDM administrators can deploy apps by purchasing their licenses from the VPP and assigning them to certain devices or users.
After the users have been invited and registered to VPP, administrators can assign licenses to them and deploy company-licensed applications to their devices. This article describes how to invite users of the devices in GoTo Resolve MDM to Apple Business Manager (integrating Apple Volume Purchase Program [VPP]).
Invite a user to assign an app license
- Navigate to where you can see the current list of end-users of your GoTo Resolve MDM site. Press Select columns, select VPP status and press Apply. Then you can see the current invitation status of the user.
The possible statuses are:
- Not invited - The user hasn't been invited to VPP and you cannot assign licenses to the user.
- Invited - The user is created to VPP and the invitation is sent to the user via email.
- Registered - The user has followed the invitation link of the email and signed in by using their Apple ID for registering their account into VPP.
- Removed - The user is removed from VPP.
- Select the desired users and click Invite user to VPP from the VPP action button. Follow the instructions of the wizard.
