Hello,

I do not believe Alfresco currently has a configuration option for this, but you should be able to customize it into the UI relatively easy. All you would need is to pass along your site identifier from the documentlibrary action to the start workflow screen and have the web script that renders the selection list evaluate that to filter the workflows. Adaptions should only be required in the client action JS, the Surf component XML and the web script.

Keep in mind though that such an approach is just a soft barrier for users to start workflows - nothing prevents users from starting a workflow from site A, but choosing documents from site B in the start task form for the actual workflow. While you restricted access to the workflow in site B, users can circumvent this restriction.

Axel,

thank you very much for your answer.

Problem solved.

I add this in my share-config-custom.xml

   <config evaluator="string-compare" condition="Workflow">
      <hidden-workflows>
         <workflow name="jbpm$wf:adhoc"/>
         <workflow name="jbpm$wf:review"/>
         <workflow name="jbpm$wf:reviewpooled"/>
         <workflow name="jbpm$wfarallelreview"/>
         <workflow name="jbpm$wfarallelgroupreview"/>
         <workflow name="jbpm$wfl:lifecycleapproval"/>
         <workflow name="jbpm$wswf:reviewPublish"/>
         <workflow name="jbpm$wswfublishTree"/>
         <workflow name="jbpm$wswf:readContactProcess"/>
      </hidden-workflows>
   </config>
