Hi there guys.<br><br>I&#39;m designing a system in which I intend to use JBPM 3.2.10 as the process execution engine. This system should act as a platform over which developers will install processes developed as clients demands, but this system will also provide means for the end users to access a task list and execute tasks that are given to them. I&#39;ve been able to design almost everything of that platform but I&#39;m having serious problems to design the whole user authorization module. For you to understand the problem I must explain 2 things: an important feature of this platform (responsibility delegation) and how I need task assignment to work.<br>
<br>Responsibility delegation is a feature with which an user &#39;A&#39; will be able to allow another user &#39;B&#39; to execute tasks initially assignable to user &#39;A&#39;. This delegation may be programmed to start on a particular day and may or may have an expiration date. So, user A may go on vacations while user B is responsible to do user A&#39;s tasks while he&#39;s out. It&#39;s not allowed to user B delegate tasks to user C while also handling user A tasks.<br>
<br>The task assignment scheme is based on roles and groups in such a way that tasks should only be assigned to users that have a certain role inside a group he works on. It is possible that many users have the same role in a certain process but this task should only be executed once. This is important to work this way because that&#39;s how my company models processes: assigning them to roles and then people to roles. Also, this model helps a lot to implement the responsibility delegation feature, since I only have to &#39;lend&#39; to user B his delegator&#39;s roles and groups.<br>
<br>The problem is I&#39;m not being able to understand how I can use JBPM&#39;s data model to apply those concepts, at least not with the material I found in the web. Of course, the delegation feature I must design it myself and I see no problem with that (it&#39;s done already). But while the jbpm identity model works great to me, after studying JBPM&#39;s concepts such as Swimlanes, Pooled actors and Task Instances, I couldn&#39;t understand how I&#39;ll relate an user with the tasks he should be able to execute, considering that each task&#39;s roles. Can someone shed some light on JBPM&#39;s models or provide references that would help me design this feature?<br>
