NOTE: There have been some enhancements requests on it, and our customers are welcomed to vote for them and/or create additional requests. In ILX Team View, to remove items assigned by an admin, instead of the Manage Assignments option, the manager needs to use the 'Remove' button available when opening the item details page from the user assignments or the 'Remove' button available at each assigned item.
