====Task Assignment====

The task assignment clarifies who is responsible for what task. A task can be assigned directly either to a user or to a group. \\
If a task is assigned to a user, the user has to do the assigned task. \\
If the task is assigned to a group, a user from the group has to do the task. A user can [[en:software:tim:task_context_grab | grab]] a task before starting the work, in order to ensure that no task is done twice. Also, the user can [[en:software:tim:task_context_throw| hand over]] the task if the user cannot complete the task. In this case, the task is released for editing to the entire group.

===Assign Tasks===

In order to assign a task, the task assignment must either be assigned directly within the modeling tool during the creation or be located within an activity, which in turn is located in a [[en:software:tim:swimlanes| Swimlane]]. 
<note>Only the ones, who have the [[en:software:tim:roles#kontext_rollen|right owner]] can assign tasks manually and get the selection fields in red.</note>
