assignee of a workflow

[tito781]

I defined a workflow similar to adhoc workflow and I want to limit the list of assignee to users that belongs at a defined group of person.
Anyone know how I can do this?

You may be looking for Pooled Actors.

I had the same problem,

instead of <actor> tag use

<pooledactors>#{bpm:groupAssignee}</pooledactors>‍

see also example of alfresco like: "review_pooled_processdefinition.xml"

As an alternative you can use the <foreach> method as used in the parallel review example "parallelreview_processdefinition.xml".
think this one could help you:

I went wrong in my explanation of problem.
What I want to realize, is a wizard in witch the list of possible assignee is selected from a single group of person.
Example:
group: X Y
users of X: A, B, C
users of Y: D,E,F

The first step of process (Start) is assignable to users of x and the second step to users of y.
How can I do this?

Hi,
I have the same problem, is there anyone can solve it?
Is there any possibility to show only the users of a specific group in 'Assignment Review'????


Is there another possibility to see a list of the users, without any need to assign a task. I just want to see the list of the users. or it's better to say I want the ability to search the users without any assignment????

thank you in advanced

I'd love an answer to this as well, it would be really helpful to know what exactly drives how the selection process works.

Just assume you are using alfresco in a big enterprise of 1000 people. You would have many different workflows for many different departments. When a manager of a specific department wants to start a workflow and assign a task to one of his depatment members he clicks on "show all" or "search" button to select an assignee. Then he sees 1000 people! This is nonsense! He should be able to select only the users which are a member of a group or only the ones who are eligible for the task? How do we achieve this functionality?

I cannot imagine that nobody in alfresco community has not faced such a challenge! This is a very fundamental issue!

Custom implementation is the only way to go - you have to implement classes that receive input on what kind of people to select from, and make sure that your JSP calls on the correct variable in your custom class that represents the group of users you wish to see.

Definitely not easy, but it's the only way to go for now.
