To reassign an active task one has to be in an administrator role? I need a functionality wherein supervisors should be able to reassign "active" tasks of users who are on leave. What is the best practice to achieve this?
Should I use the reassign functionality that comes in the plugin or should I give an admin role or is there a different way?...

Per the documentation:
forum.appian.com/.../Configuring_Process_Security
- Anyone can "Reassign tasks assigned to me, when reassignment is enabled"
- But only Managers and above (Editor and Administrator) can "Reassign tasks for other users when reassignment is enabled"
Since you want to grant this privilege to the supervisors it makes sense to make then Process Managers at least.
If you don't want to assign them this role you can use the Process Management plug-in available for download here in Appian Forum under the "Shared Components" record (
forum.appian.com/.../all)-
Smart Services to provide this feature via process model and configure the node to run as "Whoever designed the model"

Hi Eduardo,
the SmartService Reassign Task requires a TaskID as an input. How can I figure out what the task ID of a given Task is at runtime. I found the function getactivetaskidsforprocess(pp!id,false()). However, this returns all task IDs and I just want an ID of a certain task in the process. How can I figure this out?
Thanks, Moritz

You could create a custom output on the User Input task node and save the task id into one of the process variables.

This will only work if the task was finished before though. While the task is active the process variable would not get populated.
