If you need someone to manage Ideas individually, you can assign Idea Managers to specific Ideas within a Challenge.

The Idea Manager role lets users manage all aspects of the Idea they’re assigned to, they have full admin permissions for the ideas they manage. Idea Managers do not not have permissions to manage the Challenge of the Idea.

Who can do this? Site Admins, Challenge Managers for assigned Challenges, and Idea Managers for assigned Ideas.
