Navigate to Admin → Knowledge → Topics, click on a topic and view the Access tab. Click 'Edit Creators' and in the text box next to 'Assessors' start typing the name of the person you want to assign. Select the person, then repeat to add more than one assessor. Click 'Save' when ready.
To remove someone as an assessor, follow the same steps as outlined above but after clicking 'Edit Creators'. click the X symbol next to an assessors name to remove them as an assessor, then click 'Save'.
2. Via an individual's profile page - Admins can make someone an assessor (or change their assignment from assessor to either explorer or creator) for a topic from their profile. Navigate to Admin → People, locate the person you want to nominate (using a filter, if necessary) and click their name. Change to the Topics tab, and click the 'Make Assessor' option.
To unassign someone as an assessor, follow the same steps as outlined above but click either 'Make Creator' or 'Make Explorer'.
