A role is a group of employees who share the same level of authority.
A task is not assigned directly to a staff member, instead it is assigned
to one of the available roles, and any staff member in that role group can
complete the task.
To add a role to your human task, proceed as follows:
- Launch your human task in the editor. The display that
you see will depend on what type of human task you are working with.
- Under Staff settings, click one of the following
icons to add the associated role:

The administrator has the authority to perform
upper level duties. |
 |
The potential instance creator can create
an instance of the human task. |
 |
Used with originating tasks, the potential starter has
the authority to initiate an existing instance. |
 |
The potential owner can claim, work on and
complete tasks. |
 |
The editor can work with the content of
a task, but cannot claim or complete it. |
 |
The reader is allowed to view tasks, but
cannot work on them. |
- In the Verb tab of the properties area,
use the settings to specify which members should belong to the role in question. This further qualifies the group, and specifies exactly which group
of staff members should interact with this task.
