Required roles for actions on business processes and tasks

The actions that you can take on business processes and tasks depend on the role that you have been assigned.

Roles are defined for actions on business processes, tasks, and work items.

You cannot delete the user ID of the process starter from your user registry while the process instance exists. If you do so, the navigation of this process cannot continue. You receive the following exception in the system log file:
no unique ID for: <user ID>
