# Assign a knowledge base manager

You can assign users as managers of a knowledge base.

## Before you begin

Role required: knowledge\_admin, or admin

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **Knowledge** > **Knowledge Bases**.

2.  Select a knowledge base you manage.

3.  In the **Managers** field, click the unlock icon.

4.  Add one or more users.

5.  Click **Update**.

    After you save the knowledge base record, users selected as managers automatically receive the knowledge\_manager role if they do not have it already.


## What to do next

You can remove a knowledge base manager by removing that user from the **Managers** field. If the user is not a manager of any other knowledge base, the knowledge\_manager role is removed from that user.
