# Assigning Zones through the Admin Console

<div className="article_labels_list" style={{display: 'none'}} dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{__html: "Admin , Zones , Instructions , Article , Product Utilization , Established , Instruction"}} />

You can assign the people in your organization 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 a managed user:**

1. Edit a managed user, as in [Configuring and Editing Users](/en/box-admin-tools/managing-box-users-and-admins/managed-users/configuring-and-editing-users).
2. In the User Details section, select a zone in **Box Zone**. See [Users & Groups Settings](/en/box-admin-tools/managing-box-users-and-admins/understanding-user-management/users-groups-settings) for details.
3. Click **Save**.

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