So if you want to use pure BPMN2.0, stick with the humanPerformer-construct. </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>if you want to have cleaner and more readable XML and not planning on using the BPMN in another tool/engine, go for the activiti:assignee shorthand.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Fri, 18 Jan 2013 10:59:34 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/use-case-for-assignee-attribute-user-task/m-p/146618#M102414 frederikherema1 2013-01-18T10:59:34Z
