While identity management and assignment handlers are related they are not the same. If you create a class that implements the AssignmentHandler class you can add code there to set the ActorId, or the PooledActors if you want to assign a task to many people. Then you create a swimlane and use your newly created AssignmentHandler as the swimlanes handler. Now when you create a Task you give it your new swimlane, and when the process transitions to the task it will fire your assignment handler assigning the task to the people you setup in the handler.
