Task Assignment

We have a requirement in hand where we are want to assign a task to a parent group, but only allow certain sub-groups to accept the task and act on it.

For example, if a task gets Assigned to Parent Group, members of Sub-Group 2 and Sub-Group 3 should be able to see the task but only members of Sub-Group 1 should be able to Accept the task and edit/act on the task.

We gave Sub-Group 2 and Sub-Group 3 Deny access in Process model security, still if shared the URL of the task, they are able to accept it.

  • Hi Arjun,

    Have you considered making an rule input such as local!viewOnly in the interface for the task? You can check which sub-group the user is part of, and selectively enable or disable the editable fields in the interface. However, the user would still have to accept the task, they just would not be able to edit.

    Alternatively, you could display the information from the task in a record or report. Instead of Sub-Groups 2 and 3 accessing the information through the task, they could view it elsewhere.
  • Thanks for the suggestion . If one of the users accepts this task (members from group 2 or 3), then the concerned group members (Group 1 members) would have to reassign that task to themselves whereas the use case specifies, it should be the same task, just that members of Group 2/3 should not be able to accept the task. Business does not want to display that data in a record or a report.
