# Assign team member
You can assign alerts to DoControl team members one-by-one or in bulk. DoControl automatically notifies team members by email that they have an alert to investigate.
When it comes to assigning alerts, you can:
* [Assign an alert](#assign-an-alert-to-a-team-member) to a team member
* [Assign multiple alerts](#assign-alerts-in-bulk-to-a-team-member) to the same team member
* [Reassign an alert](#reassign-an-alert-to-another-team-member) to a different team member during the investigation process
* [Remove a team member](#remove-a-team-member-from-an-assigned-alert) from a specific alert
* [Unassign team members](#unassign-team-members-from-alerts-in-bulk) from alerts in bulk
{% hint style="info" %}
* Once an alert is assigned to a team member, the alert status changes from **New** to **In progress**.
* You cannot assign auto-resolved alerts to team members.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://docs.docontrol.io/docontrol-user-guide/risk-management/alerts/manage-alerts/assign-team-member.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
