# Assign Issues
## Assign to someone else
Optionally, assign issues to a specific employee to improve accountability and streamline your triage processes.
* Click **Assign to...** , then select an assignee from the list, or type their name in the box to search.
* You can also use the shortcut `⌘K`, then click **Assign to…** to open a searchable list of all admins, with you pinned at the top. Press **Esc** to return to the actions list.
Assign issues from the Issue detail view.
{% hint style="success" %}
* Assignees must have a [role assigned](/administration/admin-roles.md) in Material.
* Deactivated users appear in the list as ` (deactivated)`, while deleted users display as `Unknown`.
{% endhint %}
## Assign to yourself
Rather than using the assignee picker, from the Issue detail page, click **All Actions** (`⌘K`) then choose **Assign to me.**
Assign to me is available from the All Actions menu on an issue.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://docs.material.security/working-with-issues/investigate/assign-issues.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
