Process Initiation Authorization

As we transition to the new Hyland Community, some post links may be temporarily disrupted as we finalize redirects. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Details.

Activiti version 5.15.1
According to the current documentation we can use:  extensionElements for defining candidate group/user for process start.
So my understanding is that if I would use :

   <extensionElements>
       <activiti:potentialStarter>
         <resourceAssignmentExpression>
           <formalExpression>group2, group(group3), user(user3)</formalExpression>
         </resourceAssignmentExpression>
       </activiti:potentialStarter>
     </extensionElements>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

I'm expecting that after process deployment there will be some new record in the ACT_RU_IDENTITYLINK with GROUP_ID_ reference.
But this is not working.

I have my customSessionFactories for GroupIdentityManager and UserIdentityManager, and if I'm using activiti:candidateStarterGroups :

 <process id="myProcess" name="Import workflow" isExecutable="true" activiti:candidateStarterGroups="MYGROUP">
‍‍‍

It's working.

So the question is why it is not working in case of using extensionElements?


Thank you,
Dima

Hi Dima,

Following test could put more light on identity links:
