solution
This behavior is a specification. Workflow assignments specify procedures or processes to be performed and are not intended to control permissions. When creating a workflow process, assignment rules are defined based on users or roles. However, this works only as a task assignment rule and is not treated as an operating authority.If a user's role is deleted after a workflow task is assigned, the user can still continue to perform tasks such as approve or reject.
