If you need to configure a new location go to Locations and press Add a new location. It is recommended to give the location a descriptive name that it can be easily linked to your Miradore site afterwards.

Go back to the configuration wizard and press Next.

3. Upload the downloaded authentication token file (.vpptoken) to Miradore by pressing the Upload token button. This finalizes your VPP configuration.

If your account is currently being managed by another Miradore site or MDM solution, you need to accept the configuration and give Miradore permission to manage your account.
