## Interface AssignmentStrategy

-     public interface AssignmentStrategy

  Task assignment strategy that defines how to select actual owner based on task properties such as potential owners, task data etc. Depending on the strategy implementation additional source of information might be needed e.g. people availability etc. Each strategy must uniquely identify itself as it's placed in the registry for further use.

    - #### getIdentifier

          String getIdentifier()

    - #### apply

          Assignment apply(org.kie.api.task.model.Task task,

      Parameters:
        `task` - task that should be assigned
        `context` - task context to be able to use various services including PersistenceContext
        `excludedUser` - user that should be excluded from the assignment as it's the one who performed operation e.g. use who has been assigned to the task and released should not be reassign to it again

      Parameters:
        `task` - task that has been done
        `context` - task context to be able to use various services including PersistenceContext
