Reassign a task

You can reassign a task that is assigned to you or that you can access if the workflow definition settings allow you to.

Requirements and permissions

  • You have a global role with the Participate in workflow global permission.

    Note Users that have a global role with the Workflow Administration or System administration permission do not require this permission explicitly.

  • You have one of the roles defined in the Reassign tasks definition setting or there is no role defined.
  • Any user you reassign the task to must have a global role with the Participate in workflow global permission.
