assignees
Those receiving tasks
Assignees are people to whom something—typically a right, property, or task—has been formally transferred or delegated.
In legal contexts, an assignee receives rights or interests from an assignor, such as the benefits of a contract or intellectual property.
In project management and software development, assignees are the individuals designated to complete specific tasks or issues: The bug report has three assignees working on it.
The term emphasizes that responsibility has been explicitly handed off rather than assumed.
