# Manage requesters

When working on an event, you can add a requester to the event so they can view the event in their events list, add internal notes, and participate in conversations with suppliers.

{% hint style="info" %} <mark style="color:purple;">**Note**</mark><mark style="color:purple;">: A requester can be added to an event in a Draft, Opened, Closed, Awarded, or Canceled status.</mark>
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %} <mark style="color:purple;">**Note**</mark><mark style="color:purple;">: You can add a requester even if they did not initially request an event.</mark>
