the jBPM Identity Component is only for testing.. and has the minimal structure to use users and groups. The jBPM core is totally decoupled from the identity, the only relationship with identities are actorId and pooledActors that are both strings. Because of this, you can set any ID in the actorId property, because it is a simple string. So, to make it work, in you assignments handlers you must ensure that your custom identity component set the right string in the actorId or pooledActors property.
