{% tab title="CLI (command line interface)" %}
When using the CLI, you do not need to assign your wallets with Keys to the Operator; when you use the `boot-operator` command, each wallet containing a Key serves as the Operator by default. However, if you would like to designate a specific wallet to serve as the Operator, you may follow the steps below.

1. Type the command `add-operator` into the CLI.
2. Type in the public address of the wallet you want to designate as the operator.
3. Type in the private key of the wallet that purchased the Sentry Key.

It should look something like this:

{% hint style="info" %}
If you want to designate a specific wallet to be the Operator, you need to run this function only once, regardless of the number of Keys in the assigned wallet.
