# Multiple Assignees for Issues **(STARTER)**
|
|
|
|
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/1904) in [GitLab Starter 9.2](https://about.gitlab.com/releases/2017/05/22/gitlab-9-2-released/#multiple-assignees-for-issues).
|
|
|
|
In large teams, where there is shared ownership of an issue, it can be difficult
|
|
to track who is working on it, who already completed their contributions, who
|
|
didn't even start yet.
|
|
|
|
In [GitLab Enterprise Edition](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/),
|
|
you can also select multiple assignees to an issue, making it easier to
|
|
track, and making clearer who is accountable for it.

## Use cases
|
|
|
|
Consider a team formed by frontend developers, backend developers,
|
|
UX designers, QA testers, and a product manager working together to bring an idea to
|
|
market.
|
|
|
|
Multiple Assignees for Issues makes collaboration smoother,
|
|
and allows shared responsibilities to be clearly displayed.
|
|
All assignees are shown across your team's workflows and receive notifications (as they
|
|
would as single assignees), simplifying communication and ownership.
|
|
|
|
Once an assignee had their work completed, they would remove themselves as assignees, making
|
|
it clear that their role is complete.
|
|
|
|
## How it works
|
|
|
|
From an opened issue, expand the right sidebar, locate the assignees entry,
|
|
and click on **Edit**. From the dropdown menu, select as many users as you want
|
|
to assign the issue to.

|

|
An assignee can be easily removed by deselecting them from the same dropdown menu.
