# Set Up and Add Users to an Office

## An Office is a group of users usually assigned to a location, DBA, or however you want to define an "office".

Customize branding and template visibility per **office**. Great for multi-location teams. And especially great for different locations/teams with different logos all accessing the same master templates. 

With Offices setup, users can open a template, and their specific Office logo and address information can auto-populate onto designs. 

 

First an Office must be created in order to assign users and limit categories to be seen by an office. 

 

#### Create an Office

1\. Go to the **Admin Panel** and click the **Users** dropdown -\> **Offices**

**![](https://support.maxadesigns.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-08-01%20at%202-35-32%E2%80%AFPM-png.png?width=642&height=558&name=Screenshot%202025-08-01%20at%202-35-32%E2%80%AFPM-png.png)**

 

2**. **In the top right corner, Select **New Office**

3\. Fill out the Title of the office. You can also add the logo and other office-specific information

4\. Click **Create Office**

#### Now You can assign Users to the Office

*See below to learn how to limit categories to only be seen by a particular office)*

 

1\. Go to the admin panel by clicking your name in the upper right corner and selecting **ADMIN**.

2\. From the **ADMIN PANEL**, click on the **USERS TAB**.

3\. In the search engine, filter the **Name or E-mail **of the user to whom you want to **ASSIGN AN OFFICE **and then click **FILTER**.

4\. Click the User's **Actions** dropdown menu and select **Edit.**

![](https://support.maxadesigns.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202023-12-20%20at%205-34-40%20p-m--png.png?width=568&height=406&name=Screenshot%202023-12-20%20at%205-34-40%20p-m--png.png)

5\. From the user edit page, scroll down until you find the **ORGANIZATION** section, and then under **OFFICE**, select the office (or offices) they belong to and assign to the user. If the user should be managing the office (meaning they can become users in the office to provide support or customize designs on their behalf), assign the office in the **Managed Offices** dropdown.

*This is also where you'd assign a user to a created **User Group** or Team **Manager***

2\. Find your category and select **Actions** -\> **Edit**

3\. Scroll down to the **Restrictions** section and select **Limit to Selected Offices, **then select your preferred Office.
