# Reassign incidents

You can reassign any incident to a team member. Once reassigned, they receive an email notification.

## How to reassign

Select one or more incidents and click **Reassign** in the incidents table header.

The reassign option is available from:

* Inside the incident

You cannot reassign an incident to a team member with the **Support** role.
{% endhint %}

## Effect on escalations

Reassigning an incident does not affect the escalation policy. The policy continues running as configured.
