# Order on behalf of a recipient user

> Assign an order's servers and resources to a recipient other than the person placing the order

By default, the person who submits an order (the requestor) owns the servers and resources it creates. When the *Recipient* field is enabled on the order form, a permitted user can instead assign ownership to another user.

## Enable the Recipient field

An admin controls when the *Recipient* field appears with the Miscellaneous Setting **Show "Recipient" on Order forms** (**Admin** > **Miscellaneous Settings**, **Resource Management** tab). It has three options:

- **When Allowed:** the field appears for all permitted users.
- **Only Enabled Blueprints:** the field appears only on blueprints that a blueprint manager has enabled it for. To enable it on a blueprint, select **Edit** on the blueprint's Overview tab and turn on *Show "Recipient" field on order form*.
- **Never:** the field is hidden, and the requestor is the sole recipient. This is the default.

## Who can set and receive

Even when the setting allows it, the *Recipient* field appears only for users with the `order.choose_recipient` permission in the selected group. By default, no standard role includes this permission; only super admins have it. To let other users choose a recipient, add `order.choose_recipient` to a role and assign that role in the relevant group.

The recipient list includes only users who have the `order.submit` permission in the selected group.

## Recipient notification

When an order with a recipient completes successfully (or only with a warning), the recipient receives an email notifying them of the servers and resources they now own. You can customize this email from the **Email Settings** page.
