CanUserAssignJob Method

Determines whether the job can be assigned to the specified user

Syntax

C#
Visual Basic (Declaration)

public bool CanUserAssignJob( 
   UserDetails currentUser
)

Public Function CanUserAssignJob( _
   ByVal currentUser As UserDetails _
) As Boolean

Parameters

currentUser: The user to test for the ability to assign the job

Return Value

Whether the job can be assigned

Remarks

Job can be assigned if, it isn't closed, or on hold and the user has the AssignAnyJob privilege. If the user only has the GroupJobAssign or IndividualJobAssign privileges the job is assignable only if it is assigned to the current user, assigned to any group of the current user or assigned to any user within any group of the current user (only for GroupJobAssign). If the job is on hold the user will also require the CanUpdatePropsforHeldJobs privilege.

Example

UserDetails user = WorkflowModule.GetUser();
Job job = await jobManager.GetJob(jobID);
bool canAssign = job.CanUserAssignJob(user);
if (canAssign)
{
    job.AssignedTo = "newUsername";
    await job.Save();
}
