Transferring task work items if you are the starter, originator, or administrator of the task
You might need to change a task work assignment after work
begins on the task. For example, you might want to transfer a task
work item to another user if the task owner is on vacation and the
task must be completed before this person returns. The way in which
you can transfer a work item depends on the role that you have, the
state of the task, and the role the new owners or groups have.
