Assign To

  • User: Select a specific user from the available list. The selected user will be responsible for approving the task.

  • Role: Any user with the selected role will be able to approve the task. This is useful when approvals are not tied to a specific individual but to a user role.

  • Custom: The task can be approved by any user associated with the custom-defined roles assigned to each component. This provides flexibility to assign different roles for different components.

  • Note: The following options are available only under the Custom assignment type.

  • Export Roles: This feature allows you to download and save the current role assignments (i.e., the list of components and their associated roles) as a file.

  • Import Roles: This option allows you to upload a previously exported roles file in another release pipeline.

  • Add Component and Role (+ Button)

    Click the “+” (Add) button to open a popup window.

    In the popup:

    • Select the Component for which you want to define roles.

    • Add one or more Roles (separated by commas) that should be assigned to the selected component.

    • Click the Add button to save the custom component-role mapping.
