Thanks for your reply. I did figure out how it worked, but I haven't checked this thread in a while. previous --> group(hierarchy) --> member(boss) This means: find the group for the last user where grouptype is 'hierarchy'. In this group find the user who has the role of 'boss'. This will basically assign the next task to the last user's boss. - lg View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3993208#...
