# Add Anomaly Assignees

Source: https://userguide.qualytics.io/anomalies/how-tos/assignee/add-assignee/

Make one or more users responsible for an anomaly. Assignees are notified each time someone else changes the anomaly. To assign many anomalies at once, see [Bulk-Assign Anomalies](https://userguide.qualytics.io/anomalies/how-tos/assignee/bulk-assign/).

> **Info: Permissions**
>
> Adding assignees requires the **Author** team permission on the anomaly's datastore. Only users with at least the **Viewer** team permission on the datastore can be assigned, and the assignees of an archived anomaly cannot be changed: [restore](https://userguide.qualytics.io/anomalies/how-tos/managing/restore-anomalies/) it first. See [Anomaly Permissions](https://userguide.qualytics.io/anomalies/deep-dive/permissions/).

## Steps

**Step 1**: Open the **Anomalies** tab of a datastore, a table or file, a field, a check, or a check template, or go to **Explore** › **Anomalies**.

**Step 2**: Click the anomaly. Its page opens, or its details panel when you start from **Explore** or a check template. Both show the same **Tags** and **Assignees** controls in the Summary.

**Step 3**: Click **Edit assignees**  next to the **Assignees** label. When no one is assigned yet, the button shows  instead. The user picker opens with every user who can be assigned.

**Step 4**: Type in the **Search users** field to find a user by name or email.

**Step 5**: Click each user you want to assign. Assigned users move to the top of the list, marked as selected.

**Step 6**: Click anywhere outside the picker to close it. The **Assignees** field shows the new avatars, and the change is recorded on the [Timeline](https://userguide.qualytics.io/anomalies/deep-dive/anomaly-details/timeline/).

> **Note: Who is notified**
>
> The users you add, and the other current assignees, are notified of the change. You are not notified of your own change. See [Anomaly Assignees](https://userguide.qualytics.io/anomalies/deep-dive/triage/assignees/#notifications).
