Assigning Risks

The risk owner and assignees, project owner, and Project Leads can assign people to a risk. Assigning a risk to a person means that person is responsible for mitigating the risk. When you are assigned a risk, the system notifies you in an email. A risk assignee has the same access rights as the risk owner.

There are two ways to assign people to risks: from the Risks page or from the Assignees page for a specific risk. In both methods, you search for people to assign to one or more risks.

Before you begin: View the page that contains the risk you want to assign. See Risks and Risk Factors Page.
  1. On the Risks page, check a risk and click Add Assignee .
  2. Search for the person(s) you want to assign one or more risks to.
  3. Select the names you want.
  4. Click OK.
