Assignment Restriction Field in Access Levels

Description - Add an adjustable field within Access Levels to restrict who a user can assign work to. (i.e. Only a users Group or Team or Direct Reports)

 

Why is this feature important to you - Most managers will only assign work to members of their team, so limiting the users they see in the assignments drop down would reduce the chance of accidentally assigning the wrong individual. We have a large organization, and several people have the same first or last name.

 

How would you like the feature to work - I'd like the field to appear either when editing an access level or editing a user. I'd like it to restrict a user from assigning work to someone not in their group, team or a direct report (depending on how you set up the restriction)

 

Current Behavior: When you begin typing in a name, Workfront provides an alphabetized list of recommendations. With a large organization, you have to type in most or all of the name before it will locate the user you're looking for. By enabling this restriction, the recommendations list would be much shorter, making it quicker to assign someone.
