Assign users to stages

Assigning users to a stage makes it clear who’s responsible for orders sitting in that column, so work doesn’t stall waiting for someone to notice it.

Assign a user to a stage

1. Open the board and click Configure (or Manage stages).
2. Select the stage you want to assign.
3. Choose one or more users to own that stage.
4. Save your changes.

When an order reaches that stage, its assigned users are shown on the card and can be notified that work is waiting for them.

How assignments behave

• A stage can have several users, and one user can own multiple stages.
• As a card moves between columns, the responsible users change with it.
• Assignments come from your team’s user list — add teammates first under Settings → Users if someone is missing.

Action	Result
Card enters an assigned stage	Owners appear on the card
Card moves to the next stage	Ownership shifts to that stage’s users
Stage has no assignees	Card shows no owner

Stage assignment controls ownership and visibility on the board. It does not change a user’s overall permissions — manage those under Settings → Users.
