Task Assignment based on Roles

[lakshmi]

Hi

How do I create new roles apart from the already defined Content manager,Content Publisher etc… Is it editing the permissionDefinitions.xml file under \webapps\alfresco\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\model ?

Is it possible to assign task based on roles? For eg if i have a new custom defined role as 'LayoutEditor' and i have a user for my website registered with role LayoutEditor. Now how do i assign my task(after checking if he is of role LayoutEditor ) to this user in my processdefinition.xml?

Does anyone know a solution to this, please help out.

Hi,

Thanks Steve!

I have problem with task assignment using bpm:groupAssignee

I have added in property sheet of my task wcmwf:submitSerial

<property-sheet>
<show-association name="bpm:groupAssignee" />
</property-sheet>

In my model.xml I have given bpm:groupAssignee as my mandatory aspect for my wcmwf:submitSerial task.

When I configure the workflow for my web project, i get the search box,but when I click search button nothing loads in the select box.

I see in earlier posts some similar problem addressed where David had asked to remove .sample from /alfresco/extension/workflow-context.xml.sample and restart

But still the problem persists.

Where would I have gone wrong?

Can anybody please help with task assignment to a group…. ??
I have give in my process definition.xml

<swimlane name="Editor">
        <assignment class="org.alfresco.repo.workflow.jbpm.AlfrescoAssignment">
      <pooledactors>#{people.getGroup('GROUP_ChiefLayoutEditor')}</pooledactors>
        </assignment>   
    </swimlane>

<task-node name="serialreview">
    <task name="wcmwf:submitReviewTask" swimlane="Editor"/>
    </task-node>

I have created a group with group identifier ChiefLayoutEditor. But still the task is not getting assigned to any of my group members.

PLEASE someone help out …..

You're assigning your group to a pooled task i.e. using <pooledactors>.  You'll need to use the pooled task dashlet to see the assignment.

I have one more query,

I have a serial workflow where the work item goes from one user group to another.

Is there a way as to where users in a group can forward work list items to another user in the same user group.I know there is take ownership, but appart from that is there a way?

hello

What you are doing looks interesting so it would help those who wish to do similar things to detail what you are doing.
Could you please tell what files did you create/modify ? and in what folder?
This would greatly help my understanding of the problem
