"Break" doesn't work for "for"

I can't break this loop:

List<User> userList = [SELECT Id FROM User WHERE UserRole.Name = 'X'];

     for(Obj__c obj: Trigger.new){
         for(User user : userList){
             if(obj.CreatedById != user.Id){
                 obj.OwnerId = user.Id;
             }
         }     
     }
I need to reassign an object if user's Role != 'X'.

Please make sure that there is only one User is returned.
[If there are more than one user in your org with same role, SOQL query will return multiple user records and loop will give inconsistent result]

You can also do away with inner loop if you only have one user in List. 
List<User> userList = new List<User>([
	SELECT Id FROM User WHERE UserRole.Name = 'X' AND Name = 'some name' Limit 1
]);
//limit 1 ensures that there is only one user in the list
if(userList.size() > 0){
	for(Obj__c obj: Trigger.new){
		if(obj.OwnerId != userList[0].Id){
			obj.OwnerId = userList[0].Id;
            //this way all records in Trigger.new will be assigned to a particular user having said role.
            //break stops execution of the loop, and takes you out of the inner-most loop [should be used with caution]
		}
	}
}

Hi Simon,

Use below code:
  
List<User> userList = [SELECT Id FROM User WHERE UserRole.Name = 'X'];
Boolean isOwner = false; 
 for(Obj__c obj: Trigger.new){
	 for(User user : userList){
		 if(obj.CreatedById != user.Id && !isOwner){
			 obj.OwnerId = user.Id;
			 isOwner = true;
		 }
	 }     
}

Hope this will help you. Let me know if it helped or you need any more assistance.
