Hi edwin. The "starter" functionality was added recently to activiti and it seems it's not completely identity-implementation agnostic, as it should be. So this is a *feature*

When querying for tasks 'assigned to user', for example , this is done using 2 queries: one for fetching user's groups and a second query fetching the actual task, using the returned group-ID's. So this approach should be applied to the candidateStarterGroup I guess, in order to fix the issue you're facing. I'm afraid you're currently obligated to patch the activiti codebase/jar you're using right now to overcome/replace the join with membership-table.

Issue created in JIRA: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/ACT-1416
