The only way to deal with this would require you to use an expression instead of a hard-coded user ID. The expression would have to make use of some Java class / code to dynamically determine the correct user name. The Java class org.alfresco.repo.tenant.TenantUtil is typically used to execute code as a specific user in a specific tenant, while the org.alfresco.repo.tenant.TenantService interface provides utilities to translate abstract identifiers (including user names) to tenant specific identifiers.

Hi Axel,

As per your suggestion, I inserted an executionListener in the startEvent of the workflow as below

<startEvent id="startevent1" name="Start" activiti:formKey="scwf:submitReviewTask">
   <extensionElements>
      <activiti:executionListener event="end" class="com.xyz.abc.workflow.SetAdminUser" />
   </extensionElements>
</startEvent>

In the SetAdminUser class, in the end, I set the userName in an execution variable as below.

execution.setVariable("admin", "admin"+SEPARATOR+tenantDomain);

and now I am trying to use this username in my runAs field in one of my serviceTask as below

<activiti:field name="runAs">
   <activiti:string>
      <![CDATA[execution.getVariable("admin")]]>
   </activiti:string>
</activiti:field>

but the expression isn't resolving and is taken as it is. Hence the below error.

2019-02-18 15:14:16,224 DEBUG [jscript.RhinoScriptProcessor.calls] [http-bio-8080-exec-2] workspace://SpacesStore/486e54d2-0947-4984-b12b-453b8f88609e Exception
org.mozilla.javascript.WrappedException: Wrapped org.alfresco.service.cmr.workflow.WorkflowException: 01180026 runas user 'execution.getVariable("admin");' does not exist. (workspace://SpacesStore/486e54d2-0947-4984-b12b-453b8f88609e#12)

Any help would be great here.

Cheers !!!

To answer the above reply I posted we just have to replace the below code in bpmn

<activiti:field name="runAs">
   <activiti:string>
      <![CDATA[execution.getVariable("admin")]]>
   </activiti:string>
</activiti:field>

with

<activiti:field name="runAs">
<activiti:expression>${execution.getVariable("admin")}</activiti:expression>
</activiti:field>

OR(make it less verbose)

<activiti:field name="runAs" expression="${execution.getVariable('admin')}" />
