Brex now lets you [assign an owner ](https://www.brex.com/support/managing-vendors#managing-vendors)to any vendor to be the designated point of contact responsible for that relationship. Account admins, card admins, AP clerks, and bookkeepers can assign any employee to the role.



Once assigned, a vendor owner gets direct visibility into their vendors and all associated bills in Brex, without needing broad AP access. Vendor owners can also serve as default bill approvers in your approval rules, so bills are reviewed by the person who actually manages that vendor before AP takes action.



To assign a vendor owner, go to the _Vendors_ page in your Brex dashboard, select the vendor, and click _Edit Vendor_.
