Both are task-related properties, but they serve different purposes and are often confused in interviews.

What it means

  1. The user or group responsible for completing the task.
  2. This is who the task is assigned to.

Key Points

  1. Appears in Tempo / Task Inbox
  2. Can be:
  3. A user
  4. A group
  5. Can be reassigned
  6. Determines who can claim and complete the task

Example

Task assigned to: Loan Officers Group
➡ Any member of that group can claim and complete the task.


tp!owner

What it means

  1. The original owner (creator) of the task.
  2. Usually the user or process that created the task.

Key Points

  1. Used mainly for tracking and auditing
  2. Does NOT control task access
