How to restrict an agent assigment task... and also restrictaworkitem for the Inbox for only one user.

Wed Apr 12 08:51:23 EDT 2006

Markkos,

You're saying that even hard-coding (via Container Operation) a
username into a container element and then routing the subsequent
workflow step to that container element (as an Expression) doesn't
make the work item go to the right person?

Your container element is defined as like WFSYST-AGENT and you're
hardcoding the agent as e.g. USMARKKOS where MARKKOS is the username?

Maybe a binding problem then?
