# Create location in a project (admin)

Canonical page: https://docs.ovok.com/api/slim/location/create-location-in-a-project-admin

`POST /v1/slim/location/admin`

Creates a location in a given project. The admin dashboard uses it during device assignment, when the right room does not exist yet.

**Auth:** Bearer token. The caller must be a Medplum project admin. Super admins without the admin role, practitioners and System Owner callers are refused. The access-policy check (`Location:create`) is skipped only for an admin who holds no access policy.
**Scope:** The project named by `projectId` in the body. The location is created with Ovok's admin client and stamped with that project.

## Behaviour

- `floor`, `room` and `bed` are stored as type codes. `organizationId` sets the zone (`managingOrganization`).
- The location is created with `status: active`.
- Unlike `POST /v1/slim/location`, this route does not check for a duplicate name or a duplicate floor, room and bed, and adds no change-history entry.
- The response is `{ id, name, projectId }` of the created location.
