# Create skill assignments

Skill assignments allow you to assign [skills](/totara-20/docs/what-are-skills-1) (from your existing [skill frameworks](/totara-20/docs/set-up-skill-frameworks)) to users or groups of users (e.g. audiences, organisations etc.) and manage those assignments.

Before you create any skill assignments you will first need to ensure you have [created some skills](/totara-20/docs/set-up-skills) on your site.

Follow these steps to create skill assignments:

1. Go to *Quick-access menu > Skill assignments****.***
2. Select the **Create assignments** button.
3. Choose one or more skills to assign and then select the **Assign** button.
