1. Any tester can start bot run as long as bot is available for that test plan run.
2. When it is done, you can assign to yourself. Please do so to avoid blocking others from kicking off an equivalent run.
3. BUT! You won't be able to assign to yourself if you are already assigned to another run of the same test plan with the same screen reader.

Bots will now assign verdicts when possible.
