## Ability to enable Smart Assist

You can enable 8x8 Smart Assist for all users on your tenant or for specific users from the **Integration Profiles** page, depending on your organizational needs.

To enable it for all users on your tenant, enable the integration from the **Smart Assist Default** profile. To enable it for specific users, create a custom Smart Assist profile and assign the users and/or groups you want to it.

> [!NOTE]
> Notes:
> 
> - A user can be assigned to only one Smart Assist profile at a time.
> - Multiple profiles can be active simultaneously, each with a different Capacity (aka Creovai) URL.

  

**To enable Smart Assist for all users on your tenant:**

1. Log in to 8x8 Admin Console.
2. On the **Home** page, select **Integration Profiles**.
3. In the profile list, click **Manage properties** ![A gear icon representing settings or configuration options.](https://cdn.us.document360.io/e3a59e39-abd3-4423-964c-0a4008dc5673/Images/Documentation/icon-manage-properties.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-03T20%3A24%3A05Z&se=2026-11-03T21%3A24%3A05Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=oEDCfKBG%2BlstLHKvKx7GO%2FMCCgk0ULokA44A29Qg1rk%3D) next to the **Smart Assist Default** profile to open it. ![Integration profiles list showing the Smart Assist Default profile.](https://cdn.us.document360.io/e3a59e39-abd3-4423-964c-0a4008dc5673/Images/Documentation/smart-assist-manage-properties.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-03T20%3A24%3A05Z&se=2026-11-03T21%3A24%3A05Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=oEDCfKBG%2BlstLHKvKx7GO%2FMCCgk0ULokA44A29Qg1rk%3D)

2. Click **Create profile**. ![Integration profiles showing the Create profiles button.](https://cdn.us.document360.io/e3a59e39-abd3-4423-964c-0a4008dc5673/Images/Documentation/create-profile(1).png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-03T20%3A24%3A05Z&se=2026-11-03T21%3A24%3A05Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=oEDCfKBG%2BlstLHKvKx7GO%2FMCCgk0ULokA44A29Qg1rk%3D)
