You will have to look at the IdentityService and providing your custom implementation of that. Specifically, you will need to implement: public List<User> findUsersByGroup(String groupId) to get the users in your group. Once you have those, you can easily use:     taskService.findPersonalTasks(user) to get the tasks for every user in the group and assign your new task to the user with the fewest tasks. When automatically assigning tasks, you also have to have a mechanism that checks that the user is capable of processing the task. Its no use assigning tasks to a user who just went on a 6-month maternaty leave! Typically we try to avoid auto-assigning of tasks. But we do have proper reporting that indicates which tasks are left unattended and which users are underperforming. -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/563865#563865] Start a new discussion in jBPM at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
