1. Make sure that you’ve created a [Role in Territory picklist](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sales.tm2_create_role_in_territory_picklist.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Specify which roles apply to users assigned to territories. Roles appear in the Role in Territory picklist for territory models in Active and Planning states.") so you have some roles to select for users.
2. Open the record of the territory where you want to assign territory roles.
3. In the Assigned Users list, click **Edit** next to the name of a user to whom you’re assigning a territory role.
4. From the Role in Territory picklist, select the user’s territory role.
5. Click **Save**.
