To reassign an action, you must:

- Belong to a participant and have the process supervisor role, with the **Reassign actions** permission enabled for the process that requires the action reassignment

- Be a process/folder manager for the process requiring an action reassignment

- Be designated as a WorkflowGen Administrator from within your user profile.

To reassign the action, do the following:

1. Log in to the User Portal.

2. Perform a follow-up search for the request number in question.

3. Once the request has been found, select the action requiring reassignment.

4. A list of possible users that this action can be reassigned to will be presented. Select a user to reassign the action to. The selected user will automatically receive an email indicating the action has been assigned to them.

5. Enter your search criteria (e.g. `John`) and click **OK**.

6. From the results list, select a user to reassign the action to.

The selected user will automatically receive an email indicating the action has been assigned to them.
