# Reassign Multi-item Workflow Task



Reassign an open workflow task to another user for a multi-item workflow.

You cannot reassign a task to a user who is already assigned to that specific task, has completed that task, or is configured with a restricted role. However, you can reassign a user to continuing iterations of the same task if an Admin has enabled users in the workflow to only complete one task.
