Simple Workflow

[shibasis]

HI,

I am trying to create one simple workflow using alfresco.
My case:
In a company there are different folders(Hr, Marketing, sales).
Proper permission given to all the folders.
Marketing people initiate a simple workflow once Approve goes to Sales or rejected goes to reject Folder.
Currently while i apply rule to marketing folder.

Marketing - Permission Coordinator(Marketing Group)
Sales- Permission Coordinator(Sales Group)

Now I create  a simple workflow in Marketing folder, but it says permission deny.

How can i achieve this requirement , so that Marketing people should not see wats going in Hr Folder or so..

Please guide…

This isn't necessarily what I would call a "simple" workflow because it sounds like you need the permissions of the document to change as it advances through the workflow and/or you need the document to be moved to different folders as part of the workflow.  I would recommend first taking a look a Jeff Potts' "Advanced Workflows" guide to get some insight on creating custom workflows in Alfresco.

Thanks Parzgnat ..For your reply..
I have tried Jeff Potts' "Advanced Workflows" guide, but i am facing issue in Permission.
In 4.2c workflow , if Marketing person starts workflow to HR then the attached document is not receiving in HR.
It states you dont have permission to copy.
Any guidance will help..

Hi,

Note that when your dealing with roles permissions are very much enforced. I would suggest you "run" your "document moving" script as an "admin" user; as like below:

<javascript>
  <activiti:field name="runAs">
    <activiti:string>admin</activiti:string>
  </activiti:field>
</javascript>

Hope this helps
