You could use for example a task listener to lookup the manager for a particular user and assign the task to the manager.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>2. Please read the section in the user guide about start events and in particular the initiator attribute (</SPAN><A href="http://activiti.org/userguide/index.html#bpmnStartEvents" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">http://activiti.org/userguide/index.html#bpmnStartEvents</A><SPAN>). That should do the trick.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Best regards,</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Thu, 21 Jul 2011 16:26:41 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/submitted-user-variable-defining-manager/m-p/58771#M36026 trademak 2011-07-21T16:26:41Z
