# assign\_task

`imerit_ango.sdk.SDK.`

## assign\_task(project\_id, task\_ids, stage\_filter, email)

Assign a list of tasks to a specific user.

### Parameters

* **project\_id:** string
  * The unique identifier for the project. You can find the project ID in [the user interface](/sdk/sdk-documentation.md#project-ids) or retrieve it using the [`list_projects`](/sdk/sdk-documentation/project-level-sdk-functions/list_projects.md) function.
* **task\_ids:** List\[str]
  * A list of task IDs to be assigned. Task IDs can be obtained [from the UI](/sdk/sdk-documentation.md#task-and-asset-ids), and from the [`get_tasks`](/sdk/sdk-documentation/project-level-sdk-functions/get_tasks.md) function.
  * Example: `['0000000aa0a00a0000aaaa0a', '0000000bb0b00b0000bbbb0b']`
* **stage\_filter:** string
  * ID of the stage on which the assignee will work.
  * Example: `"206f2f63-ac2d-4458-92d8-b84fd7264db3"` or, in the case of the default labeling stage, `"Label"`.
* **email:** string
  * The email address of the project member who will be assigned to the task.
  * Example: <kbd>'<user1@example.com>'</kbd>

Returns:

* **output:** dict
  * A dictionary containing the result of the operation.
  * Including a `status` field indicating whether the request was successful and a `data` field containing the response payload with updated resources produced by the operation.

Assigning a task to a new user replaces the current assignee for that task.
