# Award a badge to a user

Award gamification badges to community users to recognize their community activities.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn\_gamification.moderator, sn\_gamification.admin

**Important:**

Starting with the Brazil release, Communities is being prepared for future deprecation. It will be hidden and no longer installed on new instances but will continue to be supported. For details, see the [Deprecation Process \[KB0867184\]](https://support.servicenow.com/kb_view.do?sysparm_article=KB0867184) article in the Now Support Knowledge Base.

## About this task

A badge can be awarded to a user only once. If a badge is removed from a user, it can then be awarded to that user again.

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **Community** > **Gamification Data** > **Profile Badges**.

2.  Click **New**.

3.  Select a **Badge** from the Gamification Badges list.

4.  In the **Live Profile** field, add the name of the user.

5.  Click **Submit**.

    The badge is assigned to the user and it appears on the community portal.
