You use the Tasks tab to assign owners to project tasks. When you are assigned a task, it appears on Home page’s To Do list, when you select My Projects and Tasks. This helps you quickly identify the work you need to do.
An unassigned task can be completed by any user who is part of that task’s owner pool. An assigned task can only be completed by its owner. All other users can make changes to the project during that time—for example, add assets to the project—but they have no access to the task’s Actions control.
To assign a task to a user, you must be a member of the task’s owner pool. This constraint also applies to the project’s creator. For more about owner pools, see User Roles and Task Ownership.
To assign a task:
Display the Tasks tab.
In the Owner column, choose a user from the dropdown list.
Click Assign.
If a user does not appear in the Owner list, verify that the following conditions are true:
A user profile exists for this person. To verify:
Navigate to the Home page
Under Operations, choose Personalization > Users
If necessary, create a profile
The person’s profile is assigned a role that enables access to this task:
Check which user roles enable access to this task: view the project’s workflow in the ATG Control Center (ACC) and check access rights for the corresponding task element
Check whether the user has the desired role: navigate to the Home page and choose Personalization > Users > Orgs and Roles
For information about default user role task ownership, see User Roles and Task Ownership in this chapter.
For more information on using the ATG Control Center, see the Personalization Guide for Business Users. For information on creating or modifying user profiles, see the Business Control Center User's Guide.
