Hi,When i have a user task like this <userTask id="createReport4" name="create the report4" activiti:candidateGroups="ROLE_CREATE"/>‍‍‍then taskQuery.taskCandidateUser("myuser") will return this task if "myuser" has ROLE_CREATE. So far so good.When i put a task without candidate restriction

Hi,

I understand your comment on this.
But what's implemented now is that we check if there's a identity link defined for that candidate user or group.
So if there are no identity links, it will see this as no match.
It would slow down the query if we add the additional "no identity link" variant.
But we could of course add a method to the TaskService that retrieves the tasks that have no identity links.
Would that solve your issue?

Best regards,

It would still be up to the API user then to merge both results and do two queries. I guess that's acceptable, as long as the distinction with .taskUnassigned() is clear (might not be for new users).
