create custom profile

I am running Bonita BPM v. 6.2 on Linux, and I have this problem: there is a requirement to create a user or profile with restricted ability to only monitor cases. It looks to me like the only option is to create a custom profile and modify navigation for it. Would that work, or is there a better way to do it? Also, when I go to Profiles as Administrator, I do not see a Create profile option/button. Can someone help, please?

Hello,
Creating custom profiles is available only in Efficiency or Performance edition (Subscription).
If you are using Community version, you might consider developping a process that will allow you retrieve the necessary data using Bonita API and display them in a form.
Hope this helps,

I thought so, but we use BonitaBPMSubscription-6.2.6-Tomcat-6.0.37.zip, with a fresh license obtained a week ago. Yet, I do not see the option to create a profile.
Thank you for your prompt response!

Then you must be using Teamwork edition, which does not support this feature. Is that the case, maybe ?

That turned out to be correct, we are using Golden Teamwork Subscription edition. In that case, if I cannot create a custom profile, is there any other way/workaround to have a user in production with case monitoring rights only? How do other people implement it? I am sure this is not an uncommon situation…
Thanks for your attention, Haris!

You could create a process that has an initialization form with case monitoring, using Bonita BPM API that retrieves the needed information about cases. You can then expose it as a form outside of Portal (check here ).
Or you could do your custom application that retrieves data using API.
Hope this helps,
