Workflows across users from different sites and document permissions, location

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.

User A on Site A.

User B on Site B.

Workflow W: User A apply (Document A) to User B -> User B reads Document A and (a) reply (Document or (b) rejects the initial application. 

 

Architecture wise, where should document A, and document B live in Alfresco, given the restriction that each user can only view/edit documents from their site?

 

Thank you in advance.

 

(ps: we use alfresco community edition 5.0)

Alfresco has a concept of workflow packages which can (temporarily) be used to expose a document to workflow participants outside the scope of a site. This would need some initialisation logic in the process to copy/move the file to the bpmackage, as well as conclusion logic to move/copy it back. Also, permissions should be added on the package to ensure only the participants have access to it.
