Assigning and Unassigning Tasks From Job Roles
All users except for collaborators can assign tasks to job roles unless it's restricted by their access role.
Assigning tasks to job roles gives you the ability to quickly overview which people need to work on each of the tasks. You’ll also be able to group the tasks in the Backlog Box of a Workload chart when you're ready to assign them to actual employees.
Note
Users don't get notifications when a task is assigned to the job role that they have. You can go to the Workload chart to assign this task to a user who will be working on it. A task is automatically unassigned from its job role when you assign it to a user with the same job role.
