[jbpm-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Resolved: (JBPM-2870) Auto-assign the autenticate user for a task

Auto-assign the autenticate user for a task ------------------------------------------- Key: JBPM-2870 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBPM-2870 Project: jBPM Issue Type: Feature Request Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: Runtime Engine Affects Versions: jBPM 4.3, jBPM 4.4 Environment: JBPM 4.3 with spring Reporter: Jaber C. Mourad Assignee: Huisheng Xu Fix For: jBPM 4.5 Attachments: JBPM-2870.patch I'm looking for something to assign automatically the current authenticate user when it is known by the ProcessEngine.setAuthenticatedUserId method. My usecase is very simple (but, AFAIK, no simple solution for this !) : when a user start a particular process, I need to assign or make it candidate to a particular task (the first one generally)... As it is that particular user who create the instance, it is assigned to complete that task... If it is possible to have an EL to describe the current autenticate user it would be very helpfull. for example : <task assignee="${context.authenticateUser}" candidate-users="${context.authenticateUser},bob" g="170,179,92,52" name="autoAssignTask"> <transition g="-81,-24" name="to theEnd" to="theEnd"/> </task> In that way it doesn't need to modify jpdl but it need to make the authenticate userId available.
