Assigning Zones through the Admin Console

You can assign the people in your Enterprise to any Zone your company has purchased. When you assign people to a Zone, their existing files migrate over, and any new files and folders they create within their own root folder are mapped to the assigned Zone. If they create a file within someone else's root folder, that file is mapped to the storage policy of the owner of the file.

To assign a Zone to someone:

1. Access the Admin Console and navigate to Users & Groups using the left-side tool bar.
   

    

2. Select the person to whom you would like to assign a Zone.
   

3. Select the Zone from the "Data Residency Zone" drop-down menu.

   

    

If you do not manually assign someone to a Zone, Box automatically assigns that person to your enterprise's default Zone.
