Authorization and people assignment for human tasks

Authorization is the mechanism by which certain people are enabled to perform selected actions on task templates, task instances, and escalations. Authorization roles are used to define sets of actions available to specific roles. People can be assigned to system-level roles using Java EE mechanisms, or to task instance roles using people assignment criteria.
