Security in human tasks and business processes

There are a number of roles associated with human tasks and business processes. This topic describes the roles available.

Human tasks, by definition, require human intervention to complete them. Some business processes might also require human intervention. These human tasks and business processes are developed using WebSphere Integration Developer and are invoked using Business Process Choreographer. When you develop the task or process, you must assign roles to users or groups involved in the human tasks and business processes. See the WebSphere Integration Developer Information Center for more information about assigning the roles or querying the roles associated with specific roles.

The Human Task Manager uses the roles to determine the users' capabilities on a production system.

Roles associated with tasks and processes

Important: These roles are unique to tasks and processes that are running in the Business Process Choreographer business container and human task container.
WebSphere Process Server supports the following roles for tasks and processes:
Administrator
Users who belong to this role can monitor, end, or delete tasks and processes and also display information about tasks and processes.
Reader
Users who belong to this role can only display tasks and processes.
Starter
Users who belong to this role can start or display tasks and processes.
Tasks also have these additional roles:
Owner
Users who belong to this role can save, cancel, complete or display tasks that they have already claimed.
Potential owner
Users who belong to this role can claim and display tasks.
