Hello,
using bonita 7.2, how I can associate more than one actor to a task? I must to duplicate the task for every actor lane or I can set many actors to the same task?

Thank you,
Max

Hi,

An actor should be view as an id that let you associate a task (directly or using a lane) to a set of users.

Actor can be mapped to:

  • a list of users
  • users in a list of groups
  • users in a list of roles
  • users in a list of membership (group - role association)

You can also use actor filter. Actor filter are run when process execution reach the step. They produce a list of candidates for the task. Compare to “actors” they can use process and external system information but they will not be automatically “refreshed” if input information change.

You can checkout the video about LDAP / SSO authentication that also cover actor mapping topic.
