Is it possible to execute a process on behalf of another user?

Submitted by brent.irwin on Thu, 08/03/2017 - 23:31

If I have a form that needs to be filled out and after it is submitted, the workflow is to request approval from the requester's manager, is it possible for User A to submit the form on behalf of User B, so User B's manager gets the approval request instead of User A?

Thank you.

This one is the BEST answer!

Not as part of the system.

You would need to develop your process to allow this, for example have a field that specifically says "I'm filling this in for X",

then in Actor selector you could ask...is this field filled in with a different name, if so select the users manager to do the task rather than your manager.

Note that the subscription edition of Bonita provide an additional role that aimed to support such use case: process manager.
