Add Users to VPP in Meraki

When using Meraki Systems Manager, free apps will push out just fine without being assigned a license.  The users will simply be prompted for their Apple ID and password.  To use managed distribution and deploy paid apps the users have to be invited to VPP.

To invite users to participate in VPP:

1.  Login to Meraki Systems Manager

2.  Go to MDM > VPP

3.  Click the User Management tab

4.  Click +Add User

5.  Enter the name and email of the user.

6.  Check Send invitations automatically and click Save

From the user's iOS device:

1.  Access the user's email account.

2.  Open the invitation email from Meraki.

3.  Click the invitation link.

4.  After being redirected to the App Store, agree to the terms and conditions.

5.  Click Ok after the VPP assignment has been confirmed.

Now app licenses should be able to be assigned to individual users for paid apps.
