[midPoint] Assign approval work item to role

[Дорофеев Илья]

Pavol,

Thanks for the answer. I am sorry but the assignment to members of an org. unit didn’t work either. None of the members of the org. unit are offered a work item. I looked through the code and didn’t find any mentions of mapping between midPoint and Activiti groups. So, when an Activiti task is assigned to a candidate group org:c96bf133-10f6-4ed0-9c88-cb3c69bb27ec, the Activiti engine doesn’t really know the actual users of the group, and the task is basically assigned to no one.

Could you show me that piece of code responsible for this behavior in case I’m wrong?

Ilya

Ilya,

I've implemented this quite a long ago, so I'm having a little trouble remembering the current status. ;)

But as described here: https://wiki.evolveum.com/display/midPoint/Current+status+and+future+plans:
#7: Ability to define approver not as an individual only, but also as a member of an org. unit; allowing to claim/release a work item. Currently this feature is limited to "direct" members, i.e. not to members of subordinate org. units. (Temporarily, it is possible to use a role as an approver as well, but this also applies only to users that have directly assigned this role - and perhaps support for this will be dropped in the future, see the following discussion on roles and orgs<https://wiki.evolveum.com/display/midPoint/Roles+and+Orgs>.)

So, the assignment to members of an org. unit works, but in a special mode: each of the members is offered the work item. (I.e. not assigned directly.) He/she may claim it, and work on it.

As written above, I would suggest not using roles for this, but org. units instead. (Note that org. unit is a very general term. It may well correspond to an arbitrary group of people.)

Hope this helps,
Pavol

Hi,

I have just come across a problem of assigning approval work item to a role.

<role>
   <approverRef oid="1ae3ab25-188f-4685-a073-fe522c55e057" type="c:RoleType"><!-- resource_owner --></approverRef>
</role>

I expected that the created workitem(s) would be assigned to all the users included in the ‘resource_owner’ role. Is this not implemented yet?

Regards, Ilya
