I wish only admin should be able to initiate a workflow.

Kindly tell me how to achieve that ?

I tried following way in which after initiation during the first transition the intiator is checked if its a 'admin'.. which didnt worked for me 

<swimlane name="initiator"/>
&nbsp;&nbsp; <start-state name="start">
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <task name="mywf:submitReviewTask" swimlane="initiator" >
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <event type="node-leave">
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <script>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <variable name="mywf_StarterName" access="write"/>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <expression>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; mywf_StarterName = Authentication.getAuthenticatedActorId();
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</expression> 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </script>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </event> 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </task>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <transition name="" to="authorverification">
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <condition>#{mywf_StarterName == "admin"}</condition>
<!– <condition>#{people.getPerson(initiator).properties["cm:userName"] == "admin"}</condition> –>
<!–&nbsp; <condition>#{person.properties.userName == "admin"}</condition>&nbsp; –>
<!– <condition>#{Authentication.getAuthenticatedActorId() == "admin"}</condition> –>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</transition>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Is this the right approach to restrict the users to initiate a workflow??

All the above conditions shows a error:  Caused by: org.jbpm.jpdl.JpdlException: [[ERROR] line 61: cvc-complex-type.2.4.a: Invalid content was found starting with element 'condition'. One of '{"urn:jbpm.org:jpdl-3.1":action, "urn:jbpm.org:jpdl-3.1":script, "urn:jbpm.org:jpdl-3.1":create-timer, "urn:jbpm.org:jpdl-3.1":cancel-timer, "urn:jbpm.org:jpdl-3.1":exception-handler}' is expected.,
</start-state>

I think! Permision is not catch in definition process. You cant catch this with case 'user admin cant see list workflow and other user is not'. That is my idea!  :roll:
