Workflow Activities
Last updated Dec 30, 2025
UiPath.Persistence.Activities.Tasks.AssignTasks
Assigns one or more tasks in the current workflow to a user in Orchestrator by using an email address or a username registered in Orchestrator.
- Group assignments work only when the group or all members of the group have at least Actions: View and Edit permissions assigned to the corresponding folder in Orchestrator. You can assign actions to users in a group only if the group meets the following conditions:
- For All Users in group: The group can either be a local group or an Azure Active Directory (AD) group. Nested members in AD groups would also be assigned the task.
- For Workload-based or Round-Robin based assignment: Only local groups
are supported.
Note: Workload-based and Round-Robin-based assignments would only consider the top 1000 members of given local group for assignment.
Designer panel
- Assignment criteria -
Enables you to assign the action to:
- A Single User: Assign the task to a specific user.
- All users in a
group: Assigns the same task to every user in the
group.
When a user completes the task, it is automatically removed from the Pending tab for all other users and moves to the Completed tab.
- Workload based: Assigns the task to the group member with the fewest pending tasks, excluding tasks assigned to All users in a group.
- Round-Robin: Assign tasks to each group member in a rotating (round-robin) order. Only tasks assigned using this method are considered in the round-robin cycle.
For more details, refer to Group assigning Actions.
