How to get the actor-id of the actor who started a process?

[coolex]

Hello!

When I start a process, can I get the information WHO (actor-id) started the process?
I need it, because in my application many customers can start their own processes but they should not get in the way of other actor's processes. So, if customer A starts a process, customer B should not see it.

Thanks for help in advance.

create a swinlane and use it in the start task

Does it also make sense to create a process variable and store the actor-id in it?

I have A question . Is this possible to set an actorId as well as a swimlaneInstance for a taskInstance. Because in my application. I have group Workitem and myworkitem. When the user logs in he will see his task in my workitem page and in the group workitem he will see the tasks related to his group persons,....

Please reply

Thanks for your immediate Replly.....

I tried to do the testing. but it doesnt allow a swimlane and an actor id both at once through jbpmContext . but when i try separately say outside of the jbpm like having a method where it sets actor Id with arguments TaskInstanceId and ActorId . it works Fine. but the same functionality is not attained through JbPm instance. I have also posted a sample with new topic in this forum itself kindly have a look.
Kindly check if you could help me out...
