# Accept Task

`PUT /tasks/{taskId}/accept`

Accepts a task. The authenticated user becomes the owner of the accepted task and can start work on it. Optionally, the task can be accepted on behalf of a group by providing the `onBehalfOfGroup` query parameter. In this case, the authenticated user must be a member of the specified group, and the group must be present in the task's assignee list. The `onBehalfOfGroup` parameter is allowed only if the [task](#/operations/GetTask) has `configuration.CONCURRENT_EDITING_ENABLED = true`.
