Hello.
I just assigned a Task to user Joe in my service request workflow. However when user Joe logs into SN, he does not see Task or My Task under Self Service.
What am I missing here? Does the user need a role to see the task assigned to him?
Note that for testing, this user currently has my email address on his user account. I got the email notifications about the tasks so I know the workflow is working.

Hi Pat,
Generally unless you've customized those lists, the items under Self-Service have to do with the items a user has created (i.e., Incidents/Requests I've opened) rather than items being assigned to them.

Hi Pat,
ESS users will have limited access to the system. You have to give the appropriate roles to the user to access those records. Please refer the base system roles for more info.

Thx.
I found the navigator item I was looking for, it's called "My Work", and it's under Service Desk. Once a user clicks on it, he sees the Tasks assigned to him. That's the good part. However the downside is that the user needs the ITIL role in order to see this. This role also gives the user a bunch of other stuff.
