Many thanks for your response.

May i know the reponse for question no - 4. Regarding ques-3, we are maintaining the users & roles in oracle db and using some custom written classes to load into one of the BPM product.

As for your user db question: no, we don't have support for that out of the box. But since assignment can use expression and custom beans, it's possible to write that yourself.
