Process Initiation Authorization

Activiti version 5.15.1According to the current documentation we can use: extensionElements for defining candidate group/user for process start.So my understanding is that if I would use : <extensionElements> <activitiotentialStarter> <resourceAssignmentExpression&g

Hi Dima,

Following test could put more light on identity links:
org.activiti.examples.bpmn.authorization.StartAuthorizationTest#testIdentityLinks

Hi Martin,

testIdentityLinks Is testing the case when the process definition uses the tag candidateStarterUsers and candidateStarterGroups that's working fine also for me.
My question refers more to the test "testPotentialStarter" but it is NOT testing what I would expect, because it is testing same tag:
activiti:candidateStarterUsers="user1, user2"
<code>
 identityService.setAuthenticatedUserId("user1");
 ProcessInstance processInstance = runtimeService.startProcessInstanceByKey("potentialStarter");
</code>

and this part is not covered or at least I don't see any test for this:
<code>
 <extensionElements>
 <activitiotentialStarter>
 <resourceAssignmentExpression>
 <formalExpression>group2, group(group3), user(user3)</formalExpression>
 </resourceAssignmentExpression>
 </activitiotentialStarter>
</extensionElements>
</code>
from StartAuthorizationTest.testPotentialStarter.bpmn20.xml

So when I'm using extensionElements there are no records in IDENTITYLINK table and my particular code:
<code>
 repositoryService.createProcessDefinitionQuery().startableByUser(ctx.getCallerPrincipal().getName()).active().latestVersion().list()
</code>
is not working.

Thank you for your response,
Dima

Hi,

I think you are right. Could you create jira ticket for it (or pull request?)
