Content Server Manual / Version 2512.0
Table Of ContentsThe 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 |
| administratoren | A user of this group has some rights on specific workflows for administrative tasks |
Table 3.57. 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.
If you adjust the role mappings with the workflow.map-role properties, make sure to set them
consistently for the Workflow Server and the Workflow Server Tools.
