Information on the type variable in the act_id_group table..

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.

Is there documentation for how the field 'type' in groups are expected to function? I've been having trouble finding documentation. For example, I know the type needs to be 'security-role' for some webapp functions. Can someone point me to a URL for the documentation on this?

Also, side note: Searching on this forum is a bit difficult… entering in search terms like 'group' and 'type' are rejected for being too common.

Thanks

Hi,

Currently, we use 2 types of goups:

- security-role: should be used for security. The "user" security-role enables users to login into the apps (explorer etc)
- assignment: Groups that should be used when a certain task can be claimed by a user from a candidate-group. These groups are also used in explorer webapp and REST-API when getting task-overview for a certain person.

This is indeed not documented explicitly anywhere, thanks for reporting, I'll look into it.
