# Bulk-Assign Anomalies

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

Give many anomalies the same assignees at once. The users you pick replace the current assignees of every selected anomaly.

> **Info: Permissions**
>
> Bulk-assigning requires the **Author** team permission on the datastore of every selected anomaly. Archived anomalies cannot be bulk-edited: [restore](https://userguide.qualytics.io/anomalies/how-tos/managing/restore-anomalies/) them first. See [Anomaly Permissions](https://userguide.qualytics.io/anomalies/deep-dive/permissions/).

> **Note: Not on Explore**
>
> **Explore** › **Anomalies** has no bulk actions. Select the anomalies from the **Anomalies** tab of a datastore, a table or file, a field, a check, or a check template.

## Steps

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

**Step 2**: Hover each anomaly you want to change and select its checkbox. A selection bar appears with the number of anomalies selected.

**Step 3**: Click  on the selection bar. A menu opens.

**Step 4**: Click **Edit** . The **Bulk Edit Anomalies** dialog appears, with a **Tags** toggle and an **Assignees** toggle, both off.

**Step 5**: Turn on the **Assignees** toggle. A **Select assignees** field appears, with an **Overwrite** badge: the users you pick replace the current assignees.

**Step 6**: Click the **Select assignees** field. A list opens with every user who has at least the **Viewer** team permission on the selected anomalies' datastores, and an **All** option that selects them all.

**Step 7**: Select the checkbox of each user you want to assign. The users appear in the **Select assignees** field.

**Step 8**: Click **Save**. A success message appears, and every selected anomaly gets the new assignees.

The new and remaining assignees of each anomaly, except you, are notified of the change.

> **Tip: Unassign everyone**
>
> Turn on the **Assignees** toggle and save with no user selected to remove every assignee from the selected anomalies.
