Automatic deploy of activiti app

[messmeister]

Hello,

we are using the activiti suite 1.4 and alfresco one 5.1.
Most of the users do not access activiti via the activiti-app URL directly but with the activiti-share connector (dashlet in alfresco share). To do that, I have set the activiti.appDefinitionName to the name of a created app which holds all processes. The problem is: It only works if the app is deployed and visible in the user’s activiti dashboard. That is a problem because I cannot tell all my users, that they have to login into the activiti-app, press the + button and add the app. As an administrator I want to do that for them.
What is best practice here (all users are from LDAP)?
I would love to see a solution where I just have to share the app with a group of people and they can use the app within alfresco share and the activiti-app immediately.

Thanks for any information on this and best regards!
Manuel

I believe there is an option (i think it's in 1.4 … otherwise it might be an upcoming feature) where you can select which users/groups that have access to the app on the dashboard automatically. But, i think this is only executed when the app is actually published (so new users to the group won't get it automatically).
