BRIX uses tasks to organize work within the company. They are assigned to users when business process instances are launched. To enable users to track and regulate all stages of work performance, they are given access to tasks and process instances.
Access to tasks
Access to a task is the ability to view the task page and perform various actions with it: reassign, edit details, reschedule, change the task progress, etc.
The level of access and the list of possible actions vary depending on the user’s role and their role in the task:

Access to process instances
Access to a process instance is the ability to open the instance summary page and view its details: initiator, start date, version, current stage of execution by page and task list, etc. In addition, users can view process task pages, reassign tasks, and interrupt the progress of a process. Administrators also have access to upgrade the process instance to a newer version.
To view the details of a process instance, you need to go to its page. You can open the page by:
- From a direct link to the process instance. This option is available to all users.
- From Tasks > Assigned by me. This option is available to the process initiator.
- From the page of the item for which the process was launched. This option is available for employees with access to view items in this app. In the item's sidebar, click on a task in the list. The executor of a process task can open the instance page by clicking on a task assigned to another user.
Read more about process instances in Instance summary page.
Depending on users’ roles and participation during the process, the instance rights available to them differ.

* — When a process instance is launched by an app item, access to it depends on the access to app items settings. For example, users who have been granted Process management permissions will be able to interrupt the process.
