# Assign the Tenant User Manager role

When using [multitenancy](/19/docs/what-is-multitenancy) you will have some [additional roles](/19/docs/multitenancy-tenant-roles) available. You can assign Tenant User Managers from the **Administration** block in the tenant or from the **Manage tenants** page.

## From the Administration block

1. Go to *Quick-access menu > Tenants.*
2. Select the tenant for which you wish to add the user as a Tenant User Manager.
3. From the **Administration** block, go to *Tenant > Assign roles*.
4. Select **Tenant User Manager** from the list of roles.
5. Browse or search to select the user(s) from the **Potential users** column.
6. With users selected, click **Add**.

Check that the required users appear in the **Existing users** column, and then you can simply navigate away from the page, as there is no save button.

## From within the **Manage tenants** page

It is only possible to add Tenant User Managers from the **Manage tenants** page after you have added users to the tenant.

1. Go to *Quick-access menu* *> Tenants*.
2. Click the icon of a person and a plus sign (![](https://cdn.document360.io/a007399b-031e-436b-999a-528240e16f58/Images/Documentation/add_participants(1).png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-01T17%3A02%3A42Z&se=2026-11-01T18%3A02%3A42Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=aJmDOKJIWmag9xPxd8DD%2BE7PR7qyEtXCFGSWzzRVnGQ%3D)) in the **User Managers** column next to the tenant.
3. Select **Tenant User Manager** from the list of roles.
4. Browse or search to select the user(s) from the **Potential users** column.
5. With users selected, click **Add**.

Check that the required users appear in the **Existing users** column, and then you can simply navigate away from the page, as there is no save button.
