Create an easier way to assign people to multiple locations

Sometimes, people are responsible for data input for multiple locations. Today, it's not very straight forward on how you can assign multiple individual locations to someone for data management. I don't believe that a simple functionality should require making groups. What I'd like to see is a way to manage this better:

Option 1: Manage, Contacts, [person's name], *locations managed*

Option 2 when creating a new contact: Manage, Contacts, create new contact, *have multiple selection functionality for location*

    Hi Casey,

    Thanks for your suggestion.

    You can already achieve option 2 directly via the UI. When creating a new user, you have the ability to set them as a group-level user and select from the new group options, which include a checkbox to support location selection. You can find more details here: IBM Docs – Creating Users in a Single Form.

    Alternatively, if you're adding groups to an existing user, you can leverage the same location checkbox when creating a new group from the Groups grid. Once created, the group can then be assigned to the relevant users.

    Another option would be to go Manage, location, [find location name], contacts and logins, *add member*
