# Remove Anomaly Assignees

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

Take users off an anomaly, for example when a teammate is no longer responsible for it or when the check's default assignee does not fit this one.

> **Info: Permissions**
>
> Removing assignees requires the **Author** team permission on the anomaly's datastore. 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. The user picker opens, with the assigned users at the top of the list.

**Step 4**: Click  next to each user you want to remove. The user is no longer marked as assigned.

**Step 5**: Click anywhere outside the picker to close it. The **Assignees** field shows the remaining avatars, or **No assignees** when no one is left, and the change is recorded on the [Timeline](https://userguide.qualytics.io/anomalies/deep-dive/anomaly-details/timeline/).

> **Note: Who is notified**
>
> The remaining assignees, except you, are notified of the change. The users you removed are not.
