- **[Enable WDC Thanks](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=experience.networks_recog_badges_workcom.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Recognition Badges are based on the WDC Thanks feature. Enable this feature plus the ability to restrict who can create badges before continuing in your setup.

- **[Configure Who Can Create Recognition Badges](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=experience.networks_recog_badges_config_create.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    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.
- **[Configure Who Can Assign Recognition Badges](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=experience.networks_recog_badges_config_give.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Use permission sets, our recommended method, to choose which members can assign recognition badges. Restricting who can do so helps control the number of badges in your site and maintains the value of a badge.

    In addition to the four default badges, you can create your own to fit the needs of your site. You can edit both the default badges and your custom badges.
- **[Manage Who Can Assign a Specific Recognition Badge](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=experience.networks_recog_badges_manage_givers.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Controlling who can assign a recognition badge helps make sure the right badges are awarded to the right members. For example, you can set it up so that only community managers can assign MVP and VIP badges.
- **[Display the Full List of Assigned Recognition Badges on a Member’s Profile Page](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=experience.networks_recog_badges_user_profile_layout.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**
