The participants assigned to a user task define the pool of users who are eligible to receive work items generated by that user task. You must also define whether a work item generated from a user task will be
allocated to or
offered to the pool of eligible users:
Allocated work is only sent to a single user, selected from the pool.
Offered work is sent to every user in the pool.
The following diagrams show the difference between these methods.
