Here is a sample configuration, from what I understand any user who is in the Accounting group should only be able to start this process. But am able to start this process with any user id., from a spring controller class. What am I missing, am I expected to get an exception or something that says process was not started??

Hi,
I have found following test in the sources:
org.activiti.examples.bpmn.authorization.StartAuthorizationTest.testPotentialStarter()

I have changed candidateStarter users (to empty) - so there were only groups. Test was passing.
Could you create failing test please?

Regards
Martin
I think it is similar to your
