1. Re: Where and how to define new users?
coolex May 8, 2008 8:39 AM (in response to coolex)Ok, I found this file but I only can change the list that displays the users.
I cannot understand where I can define new users? Like the "manager" or the simple "user" in the sample of jBoss jBPM console. -

3. Re: Where and how to define new users?
salaboy21 May 8, 2008 10:14 AM (in response to coolex)I have no deep understandment of this topic in particular.. but i recommend you to look at 3 things:
1) Database Schema: 3 tables: JBPM_ID_GROUP, JBPM_ID_USER, JBPM_ID_MEMBERSHIP. If you insert data in this three tables, you must be able to define your user, groups and the relationships between them..
2) Look at web.xml inside jbpm-console.war/WEB-INF/ (you could explode the war and modify this archive)
3) Look at access.properties inside jbpm-console.war/WEB-INF/ , in this file you can find, what role or user can do some specific thing inside the web jbpm-console...
Let me know if you find some useful document about this.. -

coolex May 8, 2008 10:16 AM (in response to coolex)Ok, I found out where I can define new users.
But still I'm confused. I cannot understand the relation between swimlanes, actors, the users and the groups I can define in the jbpm-console.
E.g. the "Fix web order data" task in the websale example is assigned to a buyer but I can see the task (with the form) as a normal user in the console though there is no user or group in the jbpm-console that is called buyer! -
5. Re: Where and how to define new users?
salaboy21 May 8, 2008 10:29 AM (in response to coolex)I think the best to look at this concept is the following:
User or actor: is one user on your identity provider
Group: is a named collection of users
Swimlane: is a process role, you define a swimlane to say that one set of task must be done by the same user from a collection of users... -

In addition to salaboys' comments, I'd suggest to just experiment a little and learn while making mistakes. Or read some tutorial or buy a book on jbpm (or even generic concepts like swimlane, actor, group etc)
