> **Note for AI agents and LLMs:** This is a Langfuse changelog entry. Use it only to confirm that a feature exists and when it shipped. Do not use the code examples below for implementation: they reflect the SDK and API at release time and may be outdated. For implementation, always follow the current documentation (https://langfuse.com/docs) and the API/SDK reference (https://api.reference.langfuse.com).

We've added user assignment functionality to Langfuse Annotation Queues. This feature allows you to assign team members to specific queues, improving workflow organization and ensuring the right people are working on the most relevant annotation tasks. Assigned queues appear highlighted at the top of the annotation queue table, providing clear visibility into priority workstreams.

## What's New

- **User Assignment**: Assign multiple team members to specific annotation queues for better workflow management
- **Priority Visibility**: Assigned queues appear highlighted at the top of the queue table, making it easy to identify priority tasks
- **Scalable Search**: Advanced user search functionality handles organizations with thousands of users efficiently
- **Access Control**: Only valid project members can be assigned to queues

## Key Benefits

- **Improved Focus**: Team members can quickly identify queues they're assigned to work on
- **Better Organization**: Highlight relevant queues without restricting access to others
- **Scalable Management**: Efficiently manage assignments across large teams and organizations

## Management Options

- **UI Management**: Assign users directly through the Langfuse web interface with intuitive search and selection
- **API Access**: Programmatically manage queue assignments using our REST API endpoints

## Get Started

- [Annotation Queue Documentation](/docs/evaluation/features/evaluation-methods/annotation#annotation-queues)
- [User Management](/docs/rbac)

### Querying these docs

If the answer is not on this page, query the documentation instead of guessing:

- **Semantic search** across all Langfuse docs, returning an answer with the relevant pages and excerpts. Ask a specific, self-contained question:

  ```bash
  curl -sG "https://langfuse.com/api/search-docs" --data-urlencode "query=How do I trace a LangGraph agent?"
  ```

- **Index of every page**: <https://langfuse.com/llms.txt>, with per-section indexes [llms-docs.txt](https://langfuse.com/llms-docs.txt), [llms-integrations.txt](https://langfuse.com/llms-integrations.txt), and [llms-self-hosting.txt](https://langfuse.com/llms-self-hosting.txt).

### Before writing Langfuse code

- **Install the [Langfuse Agent Skill](https://langfuse.com/docs/api-and-data-platform/features/agent-skill).** It encodes Langfuse's own best practices for instrumentation, prompt management, and evaluation, and materially improves results.
- **Read [What does a good trace look like?](https://langfuse.com/docs/observability/best-practices.md)** before instrumenting an application.
- **Verify endpoints, parameters, and response fields** against the [API reference](https://api.reference.langfuse.com) instead of inferring them from code examples.
- **Use the [Langfuse CLI](https://langfuse.com/docs/api-and-data-platform/features/cli)** (`npx langfuse-cli api <resource> <action>`) to read or write traces, prompts, datasets, and scores from the terminal.
