As long as i can see, one of solutions is to override task service and provide it with own implementation of getGroupsForCandidateUser task query's function, the other one is to override </SPAN><SPAN style="text-decoration: underline;">org.activiti.engine.impl.persistence.entity.GroupManager</SPAN><SPAN>?</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I want to use my own user management tables. I thought the only thing that should be done in order to use own user manager implementation was to override </SPAN><SPAN style="text-decoration: underline;">org.activiti.engine.IdentityService</SPAN><SPAN>, but I came to this problem. So, for some things I need to override IdentityService, for the others TaskService . . . </SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Why are functions needed to implement this feature spreaded over more than one interfaces? Maybe i am wrong?</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Thu, 20 Oct 2011 07:41:25 GMT miljanmk 2011-10-20T07:41:25Z Customizing user/groups queries https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/customizing-user-groups-queries/m-p/63941#M40210 Querying user task by candidate user returns tasks assigned to candidate user or group that candidate user belongs to.
