Restrict the users to start process definition

[giridhar_be]

Hi All,

Working with JBPM3.3GA & Jboss 4.2.3.

I want to restrict the process definition to start for a group of peoples only. For other that process definition should not be view to start.

I tried to create a task on Process definition Start and assigned that task to a perticular group. But when I login with the user who is in other group(having simple user permissions, no admin/manager permissions) using JBPM Admin console I am able to start that process definition.

Also after start of that process definition, the task is assign to the user who started that process. Actuall that task should be assigned other group since, in the task assignment assinged this task to other group uging swimlane.

Any help appreciated.

Hi,

We are managing who may see (start) which business processes manually in our application.

I am not sure why their is no support for security around the process itself. Starting a business process is itself a form of task which only certain users should be able to do.

Cheers
Pieter

Thanks for response... But can you tell me how can we manage which processes (start) to see who ...

If am going to implement user interface is this possible, only a perticular group to start the process.

In my requirement, the process should always start by any one from a perticular group of user.

Can this is possible? If its possible can you please tell me how it is possible.

Thanks in advance..

Thanks & Regards,
Giridhar

you can do whatever you want.. you only need to customize the admin console.. becuase if you look for another post about this console, you should see that is not a production application.. and it is only to test some functionalities of jBPM.
If you look the code of jBPM console, you will find that is very easy to customize it.
