About Role Permissions

Role permissions determine the options available to participants in WorkSpace.

Role permissions include:

Permission	Maps to This in WorkSpace	Description	Design Dependency
Execute	Process icon in the Activity column in the instance list	Allows participants to process an instance.	none
Route	Send, Send To, Back buttons in the toolbar	Allows participants to send an instance to the next activity in the process, send an instance back to the previous activity in the process, and send an instance to a specific participant assigned to the role for the next activity in the process.	The back action is only available to a participant if an exception handler was included in the process design and an exception occurred that invoked the exception handler while the participant was executing the instance.
Suspend	Suspend/Resume buttons in the toolbar	Allows participants to pause a process at the instance activity and make the process unavailable to other users until resumed.	The suspend property must be defined for the activity in the process design.
Abort	Abort button in the toolbar	Allows participants to abort an instance.	The activity must be defined as abortable in the process design.
Delegate	Reassign/Delegate icon in the Description column in the instance list	Allows participants to reassign an instance to another participant with a lower rank.	none
Reassign	Grab/Ungrab buttons in the toolbar	Allows participants to grab an instance from another activity in the process.	The grab activity must be included in the process design or the activity must be defined as grabbable.
Escalate	Reassign/Escalate icon in the Description column in the instance list	Allows participants to reassign an instance to another participant with a higher rank.	none
Peer Assignment	Reassign/Peer Assign icon in the Description column in the instance list	Allows participants to reassign an instance to another participant with the same rank.	none

Note: A participant is only able to use assigned permissions if a process has been designed to include the activities that correspond to these permissions. For example, a participant will only be able to grab an instance if they have the grab permission and their role has a grab activity in the process that was created in Studio.
