Delegate Assignments similar to Delegate Approvals

I love the delegate approvals feature but would love to also be able to delegate assignments as well. For example I will be taking a 1 week vacation in June and have manually gone into all of my projects and reassigned each individual task I am on to another user ( as an Admin I can do this).

Kinda shocked this got missed when WF was designed and launch all those years ago…

Thank you very much for contributing to this idea.


We fully understand the value this feature would bring in terms of better user experience and time saving. Currently we have many valuable items in our backlog and will be reviewing and researching this one to consider in the context of our roadmap prioritization. At this time we anticipate that the target range for a resolution would be beyond 12 months, so I will be marking this as Not Planned for now. But we will look forward to following up with our findings and updates on progress as we assess the appropriate prioritization and timeline for this effort. We will ensure that as changes occur to either our approach or timeline on this issue that we will provide updates here accordingly.


Best regards,

Yes, please make this easier! We currently have to do some kind of report, then bulk change either as an admin or a manager. Should be easier to manage from a portal or screen in Scheduling.

one possible way to implement this would be to have Workfront allow a user (say a project manager) to temporarily "log in as" the other project manager using the lesser of the two users' permissions. The allowing user could set the time just like they do in the approvals window, except do NOT allow a "forever" option.

‚Our project leaders (5) manage over 60 projects apiece -- and with five of them, they pop in and out and cover for each other. Having to change each task assignment and project assignment is INSANE with a tool that drives efficiency and automation. This is an all-caps MUST!

YES PLEASE. This happens often in our organization, we encourage our employees to live passionately and to take time off. Work shouldn't be stopping in the background however, usually just moves to another team member while the employee is out.

This functionality would be a big help and reduce the risk of missing a Task when changing assignments manually.
