6.1. Deployment options for admins for Office for Mac

here are two basic ways that you, as an admin, can deploy Office for Mac to users in your organization:

• Provide your users with the installer package file, and have them install Office for Mac for themselves

• Download the installer package file to your local network, and then use your software distribution tools to deploy Office for Mac to your users

If you have an Office 365 plan, you can provide your users with instructions on how to download and install Office for Mac for themselves. To install Office for Mac, a user has to be administrator on the Mac or know an administrator account name and password.

But, if you deploy Office for Mac for your users, you have more control over the deployment, including which users get Office for Mac and when. To plan your deployment, review the following link for further information:
