Inquiry About Alfresco Enterprise Features and Purchasing

billybill07 — Thu, 02 Jan 2025 10:40:37 GMT

Hello Alfresco Team and Community,

I’m evaluating Alfresco Enterprise Edition for my organization and would like clarification on the following:

Auditing and Tracking:
- Does it provide an interface for tracking detailed user actions (e.g., login, document creation/modification, workflows)?
Workflow Customization:
- Can I create custom workflows with drag-and-drop tools, including custom parameters (e.g., checkboxes, dropdowns)?
Permission Flexibility:
- Does it support granular permissions for roles, users, groups, files, and folders?

Lastly, what does the purchase include (e.g., Docker images, licenses), and how can I get a quote or trial to evaluate the product?

Thank you for your guidance!

Hi,

Audit and Tracking:
You can configure audit settings (see documentation) and retrieve events using the REST API (documentation). Currently, there’s no built-in dashboard for audit data. However, in the near future, audit data will be transferable via ActiveMQ to an external application of your choice.

Workflow Customization:
Yes, customization is possible, you need the Digital Business Platform bundle, which includes ACS and APS.

Permission Flexibility:
ACS offers fine-grained permissions at the "node" level, where everything (folders, files, users, etc.) is treated as a node. However, it’s best practice to assign users to groups and manage folder/file permissions via those groups.

Artifacts and Trial:
Subscribers typically get access to private Docker images and source code for relevant modules. For trial access and pricing details, visit this page. It includes a link for trials and an option to "Connect with an Expert" at the bottom.

Audit and Tracking: Formtek provides an Auditing Extension product that provides a complete audit log of actions performed on documents, folders, and other types of content stored in Alfresco, including the action performed, the date and time the action occurred, the user who performed the action, etc.

It also includes an Audit History Tool and Workflow History Tool to search the repository for audit records or workflow records based on a variety of search criteria. See https://formtek.com/products/extensions/auditing-extension/
