Permissions and Security in an Organization
- Role Permissions and Categories
- Viewing and Modifying the Properties of a Participant
- Configuring Permissions for Participants
During runtime, the ability to perform an operation on an activity depends, in part, on a participant's roles and permissions. Two participants can have the same role, but different relations with it depending on their permissions. For example, one participant in the Shipping Clerk role may have permissions to suspend and abort activities, but not re-assign them. Another participant with that same role may have permission to re-assign activities.
- Setting Roles for Participants
When adding a participant, the administrator can specify a role. The role indicates the participant's hierarchical rank in relation to other participants with the same role. A rank can be from 1 to 9, with 1 being the lowest and 9 being the highest. A participant's rank determines which other participants he or she can assign instances to.
- Enabling User Administration for a Participant
You can allow a participant to manage other participants, including role and group assignments.
