Reassign Task Ownership to Someone Else

Here's how to make someone else the task owner. You can only reassign the ownership of a task to another resource already added to the task.

You can open the task either from the Activities work area or from the Activities page in one of the records associated to it, such as the contact or the account.

  1. If you're reassigning a task associated with one or more records, do the following:
    1. Open one of the records associated with the task, such as the contact or the account, and find the task in the Activities page.

    2. Click Actions > Edit. (The Actions menu is the icon with the three vertical dots).
