# Adopt an Assistant

# How to Adopt an Assistant

An assistant is classed as being orphaned when it has no parent user. This can occur either because their parent user is deleted or their parent user explicitly orphans them. See Orphan an Assistant for more details. An assistant that has a parent user cannot be adopted without the parent user orphaning them first. An orphaned assistant will be able to continue to function with no loss of functionality, however without a parent they cannot be deleted or assigned additional enrolments or client allocations.

To find any orphaned assistants within an organisation see Finding Orphaned Assistants.

The SOAP Portal Interface "adopt assistant" method makes the calling user the parent of the specified assistant.
