## Step 1: Add Collaborators to Your Workspace

Before you can assign a labeling job to team members, you need to ensure they have access to your workspace. This requires two steps:

### Add People to Your Team

First, invite users to your team by following the [Invite to Team](/guides/access-control/invite-to-team) guide. This adds them to your organization's team.

### Grant Workspace Access with EDITOR Permissions

Next, give team members access to the specific workspace containing your labeling job. Follow the [Invite to Workspace](/guides/access-control/invite-to-workspace) guide and make sure to assign them **EDITOR** access. Only users with EDITOR access can be assigned as labelers or reviewers.

## Step 2: Assign Users to the Labeling Job

Once your team members have EDITOR access to the workspace, you can assign them to the labeling job.

You can assign:

* **Yourself** as the labeler
* **Other team members** who have EDITOR access to the workspace

After making an assignment, the job status will automatically update from **UNASSIGNED** to **ANNOTATING**.

## Step 3: Manage Existing Assignments

Each assigned user has management options available on the right side of their assignment entry.

You can:

* **Switch Role**: Click the switch icon to toggle between **Labeler** and **Reviewer** roles
* **Remove Assignment**: Click the trash icon to remove the user from this job

## Step 4: Add More Assignments with Different Roles

You can assign multiple users to the same job with different roles using the select dropdown.

Use the dropdown to:

* Assign additional labelers to distribute the workload
* Assign reviewers to quality-check annotations
* Mix roles as needed for your workflow

Once a user is assigned a role to this job, one can click the **play button** to start the labeling or reviewing task from the first image.

Happy labeling!
