## Overview
An Instructor is the person shown as leading a Pathway. Naming one puts a familiar face to the learning and makes it clear who's responsible for it. You set the Instructor in the **Pathway settings** panel by searching for a person in your organisation.

## Assign an Instructor
1. Go to **Pathways** and open the Pathway.
2. In the pathway header, click the **Settings** (cog) icon to open the **Pathway settings** panel.
3. Find the **Instructor** field and start typing a name in the search box.
4. Select the person from the suggestions. They're added as the Instructor and the change saves automatically.

## Remove an Instructor
1. In the **Instructor** field, the current Instructor is shown with their name and avatar.
2. Click the **×** next to them to remove them.
3. The search box reappears so you can choose a different person, and the change saves automatically.

> **Good to know:** A Pathway has one Instructor at a time. Selecting a new person replaces the current one.

## Things to keep in mind
* You can search for anyone in your organisation by name; select them to make them the Instructor.
* Only one Instructor can be assigned per Pathway.
* The Instructor is a descriptive setting — it identifies who leads the Pathway and doesn't change who can edit it.

## FAQs
**Can a Pathway have more than one Instructor?**
No. Each Pathway has a single Instructor. To change it, remove the current one and select someone else.

**Does assigning an Instructor give that person edit access?**
No. The Instructor field is descriptive. Editing rights come from a person's role, not from being named the Instructor.

**How do I clear the Instructor?**
Click the **×** next to the current Instructor to remove them.

## Who can do this
**Owners**, **Admins**, **Managers**, **Content Managers** and **Instructors** can assign or change a Pathway's Instructor. **People Managers**, **Employees** and **Restricted** users have read-only access to Pathways and cannot change this setting.
