# Assigning users

A user can assign another user when he’s expecting an action from him.

The assignee will then receive a notification (which can be a bell notification or an email according to his preferences).

The users can also assign themselves in order to identify easily the posts on which they still have to work.

# Assigning a post

You can assign a post to a user:

* before publishing it,
* after publishing it.

## Before publishing it

You can assign a post when writing its draft. To do so, select the **Assignments** tab located on the left of the publishing options. Then click on the **+** button linked to the **Assign to** mention.

Only the recipients of a post can be assigned to it. If a user is assigned to a post of which he isn’t a recipient, the assignment won’t be generated. All recipients can assign or unassign users.

## After publishing it

When users have been assigned to a post, their profile picture appears on it.

It’s possible to unassign a user from this view. To do so, click on the **Unassign user** mention that appears once the profile has been selected : the user won’t receive any notification if unassigned.
