Assigning a Task to Another User

An administrator can assign a task to a user. If the task is currently owned by another user then that user’s claim to the task is revoked. The user chosen by the administrator becomes the new owner. If the old and new owners are already signed in, they must select Refresh to see the change to their Inbox.

An administrator can assign a task to any user.

To assign a task:

From the main page of the Inbox, double-click a task to open the Task Detail page.
Select Assign. This option is not available if you are not an administrator of this task.
In the Assign Task dialog, type in the name of a user. The user does not need to be among the potential owners group.
Note that in the main Inbox page, the task is now claimed by the new owner.

Note: Sometimes a task is automatically reassigned, as described in What Happens When a Task is Overdue.
