### 15.2.3. Managing Assignees

You can see which user is assigned to each task in a process when the process view is displayed. Tasks and assignees are displayed in the left pane of the process view. (See Accessing the Process View.)

If you are the process creator or an `admin` user you can also edit the assignee for any task that is ready to be started or has not yet been started, provided that this capability has not been disabled for the task in the original process template. You can do this by making a selection from the task’s assignee drop box. If the original process template was configured to display a custom application for assignee selection, an edit icon will be displayed instead of a dropdown. Clicking this icon will launch the custom application. For more information, see Editing Process Attributes.

If the task is one that has been started, you can also select the task and click in the details pane.

Note: If a task is assigned to a user that does not exist, a warning icon appears next to the assignee drop box. If a task remains assigned to an invalid user, it will be executed by the process creator.

If you are not the process creator, but a task has been assigned to you, you can reassign the task to another user if necessary. See Reassigning a Task for details.
