# Auto-assign runs to their creator

> Assign every new run to the person who created it, unless they pick a different assignee.

By default a new run is unassigned until someone picks it up. When this setting is on, a run is assigned to whoever created it unless an assignee is chosen at creation.

## Auto-assign runs to their creator

1. In ION, go to **Settings > Production > Runs**.
2. Turn on **Auto-assign runs to their creator**.

## What changes for the person creating a run

While the setting is on, the run creation form pre-fills **Assigned to** with the current user. The field stays optional, so you can pick someone else, and clearing it still lands the run on the creator.
