# Announcements

> Let teams manage their own announcement rules and post templates

Give a team the **Manage announcements** permission on a team role, so it only applies to the [announcement rules and post templates](/admin/announcements) that team owns.

Set the owning team using the **Announcement rule owner** field (or **Template owner** for a template) when you create or edit it at [**Settings → Announcements**](https://app.incident.io/~/settings/announcements). Once owned, only members of an owning team with the permission, or anyone who holds it account-wide, can manage it. **Manage announcements** is in the **Standard** role by default, so you'll need to remove it there first.

Changing who owns a rule or template is an account-level action. It needs **Manage announcements** account-wide (typically an admin), so a team-role holder can manage what their team already owns but can't reassign it to another team.

<Info>
  Your **default** template can't be owned by a team, and choosing which template is the organization default is always
  an account-level action. Announcement rules for private incidents also stay account-level, and a team role never
  grants access to them.
</Info>

See [Team roles](/admin/team-roles) for the full setup.

## FAQs

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="What happens to rules or templates with no owning team?">
    They can be managed by anyone who holds **Manage announcements** account-wide. Until you remove it from your base
    roles (typically **Standard**), that's everyone.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can a rule or template be owned by more than one team?">
    Yes. You can assign multiple owning teams, and a member of any one of them (with the permission granted to that
    team) can manage it.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can admins still manage every rule and template?">
    Yes. Anyone who holds **Manage announcements** account-wide can manage any rule or template, regardless of which
    team owns it.
