# Configure Who Can Create Recognition Badges

Use permission sets, our recommended method, to choose which members can create recognition badges. Restricting who can do so helps control the number of badges in your site and maintains the value of a badge.

Say that you create a recognition badge to be given to MVPs. Restricting who can create badges helps eliminate the risk of having multiple MVP badges. Restricting who can give the badge to, say, community managers helps make sure only those members who are truly MVPs receive recognition for it.

1. First, set up the permission set for creating badges. From Setup, enter Permission Sets in the Quick Find box, then select **Permission Sets**.
2. Click **New**.
3. Enter your permission set information. Name the permission set “Create Custom Badge Definitions.”
4. Click **System Permissions** and then click **Edit**.
5. To add the permissions for creating a badge, select **Create custom Badge Definitions** permission.
6. Select **Manage Assignments** and add those users you want to let create badges.
