Change workflow Owner

[dranakan]

Hello,

I want to change the owner of some workflows which is started by a webscript. I don't want that the user can delete the workflow.

I have tried this in the webscipt :

 workflow.parameters["cm:owner"] = people.getPerson("superUser");
‍‍‍

workflow.parameters["initiator"]= people.getPerson("superUser");‍

And this in the workflow :

 <startEvent id="start" name="Start" activiti:formKey="sgfwf:submitStartFinance1a" activiti:initiator="superUser"><‍‍

But the user (who begin the workflow) can delete the workflow… How can I change the owner of the workflow ?

Thank you.

Hello,

as far as I know, the initiator is set as a process level variable and can't be reset via start event configuration or a web script. What I'd use in this situation is a process execution listener (implemented in Java) that deletes the process level variable (or reassigns to a "harmless" account). But bear in mind that the worklow will then no longer be found via the "Workflows I've started" page, as this relies on the initiator as a filter criteria. Also, you then no longer have any technical data telling you which user actually started the workflow (wether or not he/she should remain the owner) if you need to investigate it…
