I had already read that before asking the question (and I re-read it again after your answer), but it there are things that aren't much clear:

a)

swimlane(swimlane-name) means the user or group is taken from the specified swimlane instance.

how do I assign a swimlane to the user or group?

b) User = Actor, group= group of Actors, membership = role that an Actor or group has in the organization... if this is ok, membership is not the same concept as swimlane?

You can also use the jbpm-console to create users/actors, or directly enter users into the database, or write your own app to create users in the database.

See: http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=JbpmGettingStarted

I'm using the jbpm-console just to learn how the engine works, in the future (soon) I will use my own application with a set of users that log in. I'll want to use them as actors. For that reason I need to understand the diference between this set of conecpts and how to manipulate them.

Thanks,
