Assigning owners to namespaces allows restricted access to specific users. This is typically applicable to users with the DevOps Role, as they need explicit access to namespaces.

### Manual Assignment
To manually assign a namespace to a user or team, go to the *Policy Reports > Namespaces* tab. Click on the user icon to assign owners for that namespace.
