If you need to add more, you can do so by editing the user once created.  #### Adding an Asset Manager to Asset Supervisors who manage assets get alerted when a work request comes in for that asset. They can also assign that work request as a task to the staff they manage.  1. Go to the **Setup Menu** and choose **Assets**. 2. Select the appropriate asset and click on it to go to that asset's dashboard. 3. Click the blue **Edit** button. 4. Scroll down to the green **Add Asset Manager** button and click it. 5. Choose the appropriate asset manager and click **Add Manager**. ![Add asset manager](https://knowledgebase.productiveparks.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Add%20asset%20manager.png?width=482&height=271&name=Add%20asset%20manager.png) Assets can have multiple asset managers if necessary.  Once supervisors are set up in the system and connected to the appropriate staff and assets, they can take advantage of all the capabilities of the supervisor role.
