# Set the supplier's assigned contact

Notifications to a supplier — deadlines, schedules, approval outcomes — need a recipient. That recipient is the **assigned contact**. Without one, the notifications have nowhere to go.

1.  Open the **Info** section from the supplier’s main menu.
2.  Enter the designated user’s **email address** in the **Assigned contact** field.

## If the contact is not a user yet

[Section titled “If the contact is not a user yet”](#if-the-contact-is-not-a-user-yet)

1.  Go to **Administration → Permissions** in the supplier’s main menu.
2.  Add the email to the **Admin** or **Manager** group.

The user receives an invitation and becomes active after their first login — see [User statuses](/users-and-permissions/create-a-user#the-three-statuses). For what the two groups allow, see [Supplier groups](/users-and-permissions/groups/supplier).
