# Owners and Contributors

Owners and contributors are how you assign users to specific outcomes and initiatives.

### Owners

Assign owners to your outcomes if they are the main user responsible for an outcome. As an owner, the user will:

* Receive check-in reminders for the outcome. Anyone can still make check-ins on their behalf, but the owner is the ones that will get the reminders.
* Outcomes will appear on the owner's **Home** page.

### Contributors

Contributors act as a secondary owner to an outcome. It's a way to indicate who is involved. Contributors will not receive notifications on an outcome they contribute to, only owners. However, if you assign a contributor on an outcome, you can:

* Search for outcome by contributor in the **Filters** page
* See outcomes and initiatives someone contributes to on their **People** page
* See outcomes and initiatives that you contribute to in your **Home** page
