Assign purchased books to users

Introduction

Books purchased through Apple can be assigned to individual users in Relution. It is not sufficient to create a Managed Apple ID for these users; they must receive an invitation via Relution and then follow the instructions on the screen.

How To

  1. Create the desired users in Relution, if you haven’t already done so.

  2. Go to the Users > VPP Users section.

  3. Select Send Invitation.

  4. Select the desired VPP token and click Next.

  7. In the email, there is a link which has to be opened - either with iTunes or Apple Music. Here, the user has to accept and confirm the terms and conditions. If no user is logged in on the device yet, a username and password may have to be entered.
