# Enable key stakeholders to update processing activities directly

Enable stakeholders to update processing activities directly from the Employee Center by assigning the activity to them.

## Before you begin

The stakeholder must have the processing activity privilege **Edit processing activity and respond to privacy assessments**.

Role required: sn\_privacy.analyst

## About this task

Processing activities must be in the Discover state to be assigned to a key stakeholder.

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **Workspaces** > **Privacy Workspace**.

2.  Select the List icon \[Omitted image "ListsIcon.jpg"\] Alt text:.

3.  In the **Lists** tab, select **Processing activities** > **Unassigned processing activities**.

4.  Select the processing activity to be assigned to a key stakeholder.

5.  Select the more actions icon \[Omitted image "more-actions-new.png"\], and select **Assign to key stakeholder**.

    **Note:** If a different stakeholder is already assigned to the processing activity, select **Reassign to key stakeholder** to remove that stakeholder's edit access.

6.  In the **Assign to key stakeholder** window, select a stakeholder.

    **Note:** Only stakeholders with the **Edit processing activity and respond to privacy assessments** privilege are listed. To modify privileges, see [Add key stakeholders to a processing activity](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/governance-risk-compliance/privacy-workspace/add-stakeholders-to-a-pa.md).

7.  Select **Assign**.


## Result

The assigned stakeholder receives an email notifying them of the processing activity assignment. The stakeholder can navigate to **Employee Center** > **GRC tasks** > **Tasks** > **My pending tasks** > **Processing activities** to view and edit the assigned processing activity record.
