How to set user that starts a worklow ?

jcharnet — Thu, 01 Sep 2011 19:10:32 GMT

Hello. What should I do to set the user that is starting a workflow process ?I want to be able to see my started process through "My Instances" view in Activiti Explorer. I've noticed that Activiti Explorer fetches data from ACT_HI_PROCINST where the column START_USER_ID_ matches the logged in user.

Hi,

It's explained in the userguide with the start event:

try {
  identityService.setAuthenticatedUserId("bono");
  runtimeService.startProcessInstanceByKey("someProcessKey");
} finally {
  identityService.setAuthenticatedUserId(null);
}

Best regards,

Perfect, sorry I missed that in the userguide.
