Make case involvement and ownership explicit

Use participant roles and assignments for different questions.

Participants explain how people are involved; assignments show who is responsible for moving work. Keeping those meanings distinct improves hand-offs.

Step 01

Name participant roles

Add only the requestor, member, representative, employer contact or other roles that explain involvement.

Step 02

Assign work separately

Give each active task or stage an accountable user rather than implying ownership from participation.

Step 03

Review access implications

Confirm participant visibility and case access match policy before sharing documents or member-facing information.

Next step
