hmm... OK, so in my scneario we are using web application which makes jBPDL API's call to retreive worklist, to initiate workflow, etc ... So, practically i don't need any user to be pre-configured in jBPM to do this. All i need is to create process definition, assign task to users in jBPM. These users may or may not exist in web-apps application. Since all my users are authenticated in my web-app and i'm using jBPM only thru web-apps there is no need for authentication or creation of users, roles in jBPM. Is my understanding correct ?
