# How to Change the Name Used for the Primary User Merge Tag (Multi-Location Accounts)

## In a multi-location account, you can control which staff member’s name is pulled in by the Primary User merge tag on a per-location basis. This is commonly used when you want the location manager (or another specific staff member) to appear in texts, emails, and automated templates for that specific location.
