On the **Manage Process Space** page, you determine in the **Manage Users** tab who holds the **Risk Manager** role. All users of the Process Space can be selected except users with read-only rights (Consumers).

## Prerequisites [#prerequisites]

You are a **BPM Manager** in the Process Space.

## Context [#context]

Only the **Risk Manager** and the **BPM Manager** may use the risk management page, manage the templates for opportunities or risks, and release risk analyses.

In addition, in every process they can see, they have the same rights as its **Process Owners**: record and assess opportunities and risks, save the templates for opportunities or risks, define the control and responsibility. They see all risk analyses of the Process Space that have not yet been released.

Released risk analyses are visible to all users via the Guide.
