Assigning Groups to a Participant

Participants can be assigned to groups. Since groups can be assigned roles, this is another way of assigning roles to participants. This feature can only be used if ALBPM fully manages organization data.

Note: You cannot assign a participant to a group if your directory is configured with an external directory service such as an LDAP provider or Microsoft Active Directory. In this case, groups are assigned in the directory rather than from Process Administrator or any other AquaLogic BPM component.
To assign a participant to a group:
  1. In the Advanced Properties section of the Edit Participant pane, click on Assigned Groups. The Assigned Groups panel will appear.
  2. In the Assigned Groups Panel, click Add. The Add Assigned Group panel will appear.
  3. On the Add Assigned Group panel, enter the name of a group in the Group Name field. You can search for a group by clicking on the Search for groups matching the entered name icon (), which will make the Select Group browser window appear. You would then click on the name of the group.
  4. Click Save

The participant is added to the group.

Note: The participant will not be affected by this change until he logs out and logs in to a new session.
