Assign people to workflow steps

For us, it would be much more helpful to assign people to steps in the workflow rather than content items. Pretty please!

Assign users to workflow statuses.
Chris Charlick
Have a user, or multiple users automatically assigned to a workflow status, and de-assigned when the item progresses (unless assigned to the next status).
This comes up regularly, and the concept of assigning people to items as a whole is often confusing to users.
Important reason: Assigning users to items should be a more valuable feature. It's often not taken advantage of because of the manual effort to do it & the burden to assign at different stages lays with users rather than champions.

Agreed. Some staff never create content, they only proof and publish.
Jessica Power
Yes, we also would have much greater use for GC if we could assign users to certain steps - and also to lock down certain steps to users (e.g. publishers, when an item is published, they should be the only ones able to update this status)
Mark Monahan
Indeed. Too many times users click all stages of the workflow and send pages to the end of the workflow. Without reviewing every page it's hard to know what stage the content is at - which is kinda the point of GC!
