# Owners and requester

> Add pulse owners, choose who the pulse comes from, and give other people access to results.

Owners manage a pulse and see all of its responses. The requester is the person Windy names when it asks participants to respond.

## Pulse owners

The person who creates a pulse becomes its first owner. Owners that another owner adds show as **Co-Owner**.

Owners with edit access can:

* Edit questions, participants, and settings.
* Launch, send, pause, and nudge.
* Change the expiration.
* Rename, duplicate, and delete the pulse.
* See all responses, whatever the response sharing setting.

Admins and HR Admins do not get automatic access to pulses that other people own. To give them access, add them as owners.

## Add or remove owners

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Owners setting">
    Open the pulse and select the **Settings** tab. Select edit on **Owners**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add an owner">
    In **Edit owners**, select **Add Owner**. Select an employee, then select **Add owner**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Remove an owner">
    Select **Remove** next to the owner. You cannot remove the creator or yourself from this list.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Finish">
    Select **Done**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Owners that you add in **Settings** get edit access. A pulse must always have at least one owner with edit access.

### Read-only owners

You can ask Windy to add a read-only owner. Read-only owners can view the pulse and all responses, but cannot change it. They see **Read only access** at the top of the pulse.

<Callout icon="message" iconType="regular">
  "@Windy add Jordan Lee as a read-only owner of the Q3 engagement pulse."
</Callout>

## Choose the requester

The requester tells participants where the request comes from. Open **Settings** and select edit on **Requester**. In **Who should this chat come from?**, choose one option, then select **Save**.

* **Specific employee:** Windy names this person. You can choose only pulse owners.
* **Their manager:** Windy names each participant's manager.
* **Anonymous:** Windy asks without naming anyone.

## Give someone access to results

| Option | Who gets access | What they can do |
| - | - | - |
| Add them as an owner | One person | See all responses. Edit if they have edit access. |
| [Response sharing](/features/pulse-surveys/response-sharing) | Managers, or all participants | See the responses the setting allows. |
| [Email report](/features/pulse-surveys/notifications) | Owners, participants, managers, or email addresses | Get results by email after each run completes. |

Response sharing and email reports follow the pulse's anonymity. On an anonymous pulse, nobody sees who wrote a response. See [Anonymity and privacy](/features/pulse-surveys/anonymity-and-privacy).
