[CharmanderJieniJieni]

Could you clarify what the location params is used for? The documentation does not really tell this information

@Juliehzl Please have a look

@CharmanderJieniJieni I don't see that the command related to az policy assignment has the parameter --location\-l, may I ask you 2 questions?

1. Does this location refer to allowedLocations in the --params\-p parameter of the az policy assignment create command?
2. Which version of azure-cli do you use?

Hi, this is for az policy assignment create, there is a --location params.

@CharmanderJieniJieni Its function is: The location of the policy assignment. Only required when utilizing managed identity.
I'll add this description to help, do you have any other questions?
