A task assignee can be a project member or a person from outside the
project.
When you
are assigned a task, the system notifies you. If the task is in the Preliminary state, you
are not notified until it is promoted to Ready. For on-premises, notifications are sent to
the recipient in an email that has a link to the task. On the cloud, you can only enable
email notifications from 3DNotification settings. The delivered email notification is a text
message without hyperlinks.
You also receive notification when you are removed as a task
assignee. Tasks for a project template do not have owners or assignees so these
sections do not apply to templates.
Task assignees can:
view their task and its subtasks
add subtasks for the task
edit the task and any of its subtasks they are assigned to, including the %
complete and actual finish date
route the task
add assignees and remove assignees including removing themselves, only if having
lead access on the project. If a user creates a task under an assigned task,
they cannot add an assignee or delete a created task if they do not have lead
access on the project.
manage dependencies, bookmarks, deliverables, and risks for the task
Task assignees with Project Lead access cannot add/remove/edit assignees to
tasks in the In Review status.
