Claim / complete task not restricted to candidate group

[mano_swerts]

Hi all,

I am using Alfresco 4.2.c and I created a simple workflow with 1 user task. I have set 1 specific group as a candidate group. When retrieving the pooled tasks only users within this candidate group retrieve the user task. Others don't. This behaviour is perfectly normal.

However, when using the TaskService API, I can claim and complete the task with any user. Also users who are not a member of the candidate group. I wonder if this is expected behaviour? To me it seems that claiming and completing the task should be restricted to members of the candidate group(s).

Is this a bug or is there another property to enforce this? Or is this normal behaviour do I need to check this manually?

Any insights into this are highly appreciated.

Kind regards,

Mano

Hi All,

I have the same problem, if three people are in same group and one is claiming the task other can not see the task. If claimed person forgot to release it into pool. Then the task will not complete or other could not complete that task.
Is there any way where admin can release it from one resource and assign it to someone?
Any insights into this are highly appreciated.

Thanks & Regards
