You can define owners of the tasks that you assign to human activities in your process model. Task owners are evaluated while the task instance is being created at runtime. You can define the following types of task owners:
Potential owners
Potential owners are the processors of the tasks in the process model.
Excluded owners
Excluded owners are principals excluded from processing a task in the process model.
Task owners can be principals that you select from the User Management Engine (UME) or you define with an expression. You can define task owners on one of the following levels:
Task level
Defining task owners on a task level applies only to the task. Task owners you define later on lane or human activity level override task owners on task level.
Human activity level
Defining task owners on human activity level allows you to define individual roles for the tasks assigned to the human activities. You override task owners defined on task level so that you can use the same task in more than one human activities.
Lane level
Defining task owners globally on lane level applies to all tasks that are in the lane and overrides their task owner settings.
