**Who can do this:**

- Anyone with the Users (editable) permission
:::

Once your hierarchy (groups/teams) and user tags are set up, you can assign users to them whenever needed.

A user can be assigned to only one group or team at a given time, but can have multiple user tags.

:::hint{type="warning"}
**Is it okay if I change a user's assignment?**

Changing a user's group, team, or tag can impact content visibility. Ensure the new assignment aligns with the content you intend for them.

# Assign or re-assign a single user

Assign or re-assign a user to a group or user tag, one at a time. This allows you to retain their existing assignment. 

If a user hasn't been added to the dashboard yet, you can select their assignment when you add them. See [Add & invite a single user](docId\:h-DTFl9cSNrA1gxzzUVTC).

To do this:

1. Go to **Admin** ➤ **Users.**
2. Select the user from the list.
3. Under **Assignment**, select the **Group**, **Team**, and/or **User tags** you want.
4. Click **Save.**

**What if I select both tags and groups?**

User tags serve as an alternative to groups rather than as a filter within a group. Learn more about the differences at [User segmentation.](docId\:Y9ILxOu3kySMMm5W7gnyD)
:::

# Assign or re-assign multiple users

When assigning or re-assigning multiple users at once, users will inherit the existing assignment of other users. To avoid this, assign a user individually.

To assign or re-assign multiple users:

1. Go to **Admin** ➤ **Users **and tick the users you want.
2. At the top, click **Re-Assign.**
   - This opens the **Re-Assign items** window.
3. Select the assignment you want, whether **Group**, **Team**, or **User tag.**
4. Click **Re-Assign.**
5. In the dialog, click **Re-Assign **to confirm.

All the users you selected will now be-reassigned.

**How can I let users update their own tags?**

Create a form that allows users to select their own tags. These tags will automatically apply to their profiles. For more details, see [User self-tagging](docId\:DrgRyvEJ8U8a9lFaNinQj).
