# Assign a performance activity to an individual

After [creating a performance activity](/totara-20/docs/create-a-performance-activity-1) and adding your content, you are ready to assign the performance activity to users.

To assign a performance activity to individual users, follow these steps:

1. Go to *Quick-access menu > Activity management.*
2. Click the activity to which you wish to assign users.
3. Select the **Assignments** tab.
4. From the **Assign users** dropdown menu, select **Individual users**.
5. Browse, filter, or search for the user(s) you want to add.
6. Select the user(s) using the tick box in front of their name.
7. Click **Add**.

The activity is automatically saved after adding assignments.

You can freely add or remove users once the activity is **Active** (i.e. [it has been activated](/totara-20/docs/activate-a-performance-activity-1)).

A user can only be assigned once, i.e. if they appear in multiple assigned organisations, positions, or audiences, they are still only assigned to a performance activity once.
