The ability to assign tasks to both internal and external users has emerged as a highly requested feature from our customers.

However, implementing such a feature introduces significant challenges, particularly in the realms of data privacy and security.

This epic encompasses developing user assignment functionalities without compromising data integrity.

The initial focus will be on two key capabilities:

1. Self-assignment for External Users: This feature will allow external users to assign tasks themselves, enabling more autonomous management of their project contributions.
2. Cross-assignment Capabilities: This will empower internal users to assign tasks to external users and vice versa.

It is important to note that the current approach to enabling these features may evolve.
The new External Share structure is anticipated to introduce greater customization options, which could significantly influence the implementation strategy.
