# Adding an Office Location

### Overview

Administrators can create individual locations and associated location groups for easy management of multiple locations. By maintaining accurate location groups, companies can restrict access to sensitive resources based on geographic or network-based criteria, reducing the risk of unauthorized access. Additionally, up-to-date location data ensures that security policies are properly enforced and makes it easier to audit and demonstrate compliance with data protection and industry standards.

* Click **Save** to finalize the new location.

To designate a location as a headquarter, check **Mark this location as Our Headquarter**. Customize the headquarter label in **Admin Portal > Domain > Locations > General Settings**.

### Creating a Location Group

At the time of location addition, admins can also elect to create an associated location group. This associated group can be added later by clicking the [**Create Groups**](https://guides.mangoapps.com/admin-guide/domain-settings/locations/locations#managing-location-based-groups) button.

Newly created groups will appear in the **Groups** module where they can be edited or removed as needed.

### Best Practices for Location Management

To optimize location organization, follow these best practices:

**Use Descriptive Names:** Clearly define location names (e.g., "Berlin Office" instead of just "Berlin").

**Include Images:** Enhances visual identification for easier navigation.

**Keep Details Updated:** Regularly review and update location information.
