Assigning an automated tasks user
A release that contains a Create Delivery task must have an automated tasks user assigned. This user must have:
- The View delivery, Edit delivery, or Edit tracked items permission on the folder where the delivery is located if they want to find the delivery.
- The Edit delivery permission to create a new delivery if Fallback is checked.
You can assign the automated tasks user in the Run automated tasks as user release property. For more information, see Configure release properties.
