Usage Notes
To get a task using this operation, you must supply the ID of the task that you want to retrieve. To obtain this ID, use the
searchTasks operation to locate the task and then extract the task ID from the result set that the
searchTasks operation returns.
To retrieve a task successfully, the user ID specified in user must have permission to access that task. If the supplied ID does not have access to the task, or if the specified task does not exist, an exception is thrown.
