Assigning incident issues to users

{: #assign-incident-issues}

Incident issues that are created by the continuous integration (CI) or continuous compliance (CC) pipelines can have default assignees. {: shortdesc}

To assign default assignees, set the incident-assignees environment property to one or more usernames that are separated by a comma. For example, First-User or First-User,Second-User. For more information about the incident-assignees environment property, see Pipeline parameters.

The pipeline takes these usernames and assigns these users to the incident issues that are created by the collect-evidence script. If a username is invalid, the logs provide a warning about an unsuccessful assignment, but the evidence collection is successful.

You can define this environment property per trigger so that each trigger can assign different users. {: tip}
