You will have to use the IdentityAPI and MembershipAPI

for example

createUser User createUser(String userName, String password, String firstName, String lastName) throws AlreadyExistsException, CreationException

Will create the user (see documentataion here: [createUser], and to add the user to a group see [here] .

Something like:

import IdentlyAPI; import MembershipAPI;

def userName = “john.smith”
def defaultpwd = “bpm”
def firstName = “John”;
def lastName = “Smith”

def userGroup = group(“groupPath”).getid()

def userID = createUser(userName, defaultpwd, firstName, lastName)
def groupID = addMembership(userId, userGroup, roleId)

NOTE: This is sample pseudo code, you will need to complete it to get it to work. I’ve not done this before, just pointing you in the right direction.

In fact you could also look at the documentation here to see how it is really done in a process.

Thanks a lot sean , just i want to know about the
def userGroup = group(“groupPath”).getid()

“groupPath” how can i find the path of a group

Getting the grouppath is done through the organization, if using Community I do this as follows:

//get all the groups List groupList = apiAccessor.getIdentityAPI().getGroups(0, 2000, GroupCriterion.NAME_ASC); for (Group group : groupList) { 
	String orgPath = group.getPath();
	String delimiter = "/";
	String[] temp;
	temp = orgPath.split(delimiter);
	organization = temp[1];

//then process the organization path as required…
}

So what I think you’re asking is

  1. User opens a web page (any web page but one not in Bonita, or one that requires NO Authorization))
  2. User Fills in the details
  3. User Clicks submit
  4. The system automatically defines the User in Bonita so they can then use the system.

If so then, my big concern is security. Allowing people to assign their own logins not generally a good idea. However if it is really secure then OK.

I would do it this way.

Create a HTML page that people can go to
Add JavaScript etc to call REST and add the user that way

See REST here and REST Identity API here

I can’t help you further than that as I don’t really do REST, but that’s the way I would do it,

hope it gets you on your way,

regards
Seán
