Should a new user be able to see tasks previously assigned to their role?-1529955597

I don't know if this is a new behavior or if it has always been this way ... 

1. Some documents in a workflow are assigned to a role "My Role" and enter a task.
2. A user "New Guy" is created and added to My Role.
3. Some more documents are assigned to My Role and enter a task.
4. New Guy can see only see those tasks which were created AFTER his user was added to My Role

I just want to get clarification if this is normal behavior or if I should open a ticket for this to be investigated.  A relevant note: this customer has recently updated to 6.12 from a much earlier version (I'm not sure which earlier version) which might have behaved differently.

Thanks Much!

When a workflow instance is created (by triggering with a document) all of the rights existing at the time of the instance being created are gathered and recorded. So any changes made to the underlying roles will not be recognized until a new workflow instance is created.
These types of changes cannot be retrospective.

Phil I appreciate your confirmation of my understanding of how this works.  I'll pass this along.  Thank you.
