When a process starts, task instances are created. These must be assigned to users or user groups. We can either hardcode our actor ids, or delegate to a Seam component:

<task name="todo" description="#{todoList.description}">
    <assignment actor-id="#{actor.id}"/>
</task>

In this case, we have simply assigned the task to the current user. We can also assign tasks to a pool:

<task name="todo" description="#{todoList.description}">
    <assignment pooled-actors="employees"/>
</task>
