A site is a physical place — an office, warehouse, or data centre — that belongs to a customer. Sites help you organise devices by where they physically are.
When to use sites
Use sites when a customer has:
- Multiple offices or branches
- A server room separate from the main office
- Devices spread across different cities or countries
Before you start
You need the Customer Management permission — without it, the Customers pages are not visible.
Steps
- Go to Customers and open the customer you want to add a site to.
- Click Edit Customer to switch to edit mode (the Sites section only appears on the edit page, not on the read-only detail view).
- Scroll to the Sites section.
- Click Add Site.

- Fill in the site name.
- Click Save at the top of the page (or press Ctrl+S / Cmd+S).
The site is created and you can assign devices to it during agent deployment.
Alternative: from device assignment
You can also create a new site while assigning a device to a customer. When the Assign Customer dialog is open, the site picker always renders an Add site button for users with the Customer Management permission. The button is disabled until you pick a customer, then becomes active and opens a small dialog where you can name the new site and create it inline. The new site is pre-selected as the device's site after creation — no need to leave the assignment flow. Without the Customer Management permission, the Add site button is not shown — in that case, ask a colleague or admin with that permission to create the site for you.
