3.15.1.2 Workflow Role Groups

The CoreMedia Workflow installation comes with the following predefined workflows which cover the publication and translation of resources:

  • simple-publication

  • two-step-publication

  • translation

The workflows define workflow roles. Each role is mapped to a group:

Group

Description

composer-role

A user of this group may start a workflow and create a change set

approver-role 

A user of this group may approve resources in a change set 

publisher-role

A user of this group may publish resources in a change set

translation-manager-role

A user of this group may start a translation workflow
administratorenA user of this group has some rights on specific workflows for administrative tasks

Table 3.56. Workflow role groups


A user must be a member of a role group to execute the respective task. The groups are automatically created when a workflow is uploaded and have no user rights. To approve or publish a user must also be a member of another group which has the rights on resources to be approved or published. To approve a content item A in a workflow, for example, the user must be a member of

  • approver-role to be able to accept the approve task in the workflow and

  • a group which has APPROVE rights on the content item A

In an LDAP-enhanced CoreMedia system, Workflow role groups are mapped in the Workflow Server properties.

# remap roles for default workflows
#workflow.map-role.approver-role=approver@example.org
#workflow.map-role.composer-role=composer@exmaple.org
#workflow.map-role.publisher-role=publisher@example.org
#workflow.map-role.translation-manager-role=translation@example.org
#workflow.map-role.administratoren=administrators@example.org

Example 3.50. Groups in Workflow Server properties


These are looked up only once when uploading the workflow. See the Workflow Manual for a more detailed description of Workflow Server properties.

The translation-manager-role must match the setting in the property sitemodel.translationManagerRole of the site model, see Section 5.5, “Localized Content Management” in Blueprint Developer Manual for details.
