Assigning and Removing Curators
A curator is responsible for documenting a specific object. Curators serve as the primary point of contact for any question related to an item’s documentation status.
You can assign one or more curators to any type of item in the catalog.
Find Curators
To find curators for an item, follow these steps:
  1. In the Studio, open the item’s overview or details page.
  2. Go to the PEOPLE tab.
    The CURATOR section lists all assigned curators.
  3. Hover over a curator’s avatar to view their detailed information, such as name, responsibility, email, and so on.
Assign Curators
To assign curators to a single item, follow these steps:
  1. In the Studio, open the item's overview or details page.
  2. In the PEOPLE tab, click the Assign curator button in the CURATOR section.
    The Assign curator dialog appears.
  3. Select one or more curators from the list of available users.
  4. Click Confirm.
To assign curators to multiple items at once, follow these steps:
  1. In the Studio, select the items from the search results.
  2. Click the Edit button.
  3. Click Assign curator.
    The Assign curator dialog appears.
  4. Select one or more curators from the list of available users.
  5. Click Confirm.
    Note: Only the items for which you have curator permissions will be updated.

Note: Curators cannot be updated through the Excel import.
Remove Curators
To remove curators from an item, follow these steps:
  1. In the Studio, open the item's overview or details page.
  2. In the PEOPLE tab, click the Remove button next to the curator you want to remove in the CURATOR section.
  3. Click Confirm.
Specific Case: Fields
Dataset curators will be inherited by the Fields. These inherited curators cannot be removed.
However, in addition to the inherited curators, you can manually add new curators. These manually added curators are managed like any other curators, so you can add or remove them as needed.
