Hi ,
I am Srikant , i am using Activiti for some Work flow.I an facing problem while assign a single task to multiple users.

"how to assign common task for multiple users in activiti"..

Please help….

There can be only assignee. But you can either assign it to a group or to a list of candidate users, and then users need to claim it (making them the assignee)

Thanks.. Jbarrez…

But how can i show the single task to multiple users on their dash board or my task list.

[jbarrez]

I think my previous comment already hinted at looking at the candidateUsers option …

what if, I want to share task with multiple user.
Suppose, I have one task "t1" it can be accomplished by any one of  three users u1,u2,u3.
so how can I achieve it?

You would mention users u1,u2,u3 as candidate users and one of them would claim and complete it.

I have two users whom i have added to a group. I want both the users to approve the request. But on claiming by the first user , it disappears from the second user task list.Could anyone please tell, how to achieve this?

You can use multi-instance task
