As far as i know it is not possible to see/reassign tasks without having security to processes. Only possible solution which i can think off is

-Create a task report for all tasks and query results in a script task which rules with designer security
-Show the report in a form and ask users to select tasks they want to reassign and to whom they want to reassign
-Add user to manager role using smart service
-Reassign task to whom he mentioned in the form
-Remove him from process security

I would still suggest using the process models as context, but if you'd like to use users as context then try getting all users from the group with a function such as getdistinctusers(). Also, you can specify context in the report, but you can also specify when you perform the a!queryprocessanalytics() call. You'll want to pass in the getdistinctusers() as context inside the a!queryprocessanalytics() call in order to use that context in SAIL.

@Lashmim, I did try to add all Users Group but the report takes conetxt of User only not Group. Also, if I use context of All the Users , the report saves it for all the Users once but then it modifies itself & takes only the default User.

I would recommend using the user or process model context and passing in multiple values. That would mean either passing as context all users in your application's All Users group, or passing in a list of process models from your application that have assigned tasks. I'd recommend the second option of passing in process models, as the list of users could grow very large and reduce performance.

We need to know a simple way where we can get a report with all the tasks so that Users can filter a report by User & reassign the tasks.

Yeah, we don't want to go for this Approach. The use case is to enable the Users to be able to reassign the tasks in bulk.

You can make task details visible to all users by executing queryAnalytics in script task and running it with user who ever designed process security. But selecting and opening tasks is not possible unless they have security to process.

So if you want to make them accessible to everyone you may have to provide manager level privileges to all users for all processes and also need to handle reassignment restrictions at task level, which is not recommended in all cases

@ravitejavj, we need Users to be able to see that report & select tasks for any User so it can not be for Admin only.

Hi Rishu,
You can create a task report for all tasks as shown in attachment. After creating report just filter it to Active tasks.
However to see all tasks you need to make sure that this report is being executed as Admin. Otherwise you cannot see all tasks if user who is running this report dont have security to processes in system. Let me know if you need help on this further.

You can create a process report by selecting 'Active' as default filter in the 'Filters' tab. You can then use a!queryprocessanalytics() function to display the data in a grid. You can use the below tutorial given in the Appian documentation
