This isn't necessarily what I would call a "simple" workflow because it sounds like you need the permissions of the document to change as it advances through the workflow and/or you need the document to be moved to different folders as part of the workflow. I would recommend first taking a look a Jeff Potts' "Advanced Workflows" guide to get some insight on creating custom workflows in Alfresco.

Thanks Parzgnat ..For your reply..
I have tried Jeff Potts' "Advanced Workflows" guide, but i am facing issue in Permission.
In 4.2c workflow , if Marketing person starts workflow to HR then the attached document is not receiving in HR.
It states you dont have permission to copy.
Any guidance will help..

Hi,

Note that when your dealing with roles permissions are very much enforced. I would suggest you "run" your "document moving" script as an "admin" user; as like below:

<javascript>
<activiti:field name="runAs">
<activiti:string>admin</activiti:string>
</activiti:field>
</javascript>

Hope this helps
