how to add multiple user to approver in workflow

[George George, modificado 10 Anos atrás.]

Hello everyone,

I am learning from here (http://www.liferay.com/documentation/liferay-portal/6.1/user-guide/-/ai/creating-process-definitions), for a single approver workflow, my understanding is I can create a final approver role and add multiple people in the approver role? If it is true, how to do it? I cannot it in the guide.

thanks in advance,
George

Hi George,

if you want to have more users to have the permission to do a task, you can use Role, indeed. Take the Single Approver workflow definition in the Kaleo web plugin as an example.

Hi Zsigmond, which sample do you mean? Appreciate if you could let me know more details.

[Zsigmond Rab, modificado 10 Anos atrás.]

Hi George,

in the Kaleo web plugin there are predefined workflows. Take a look at the src/META-INF/definitions folder.

Hi Zsigmond, I am new to workflow, could you let me know which file to look at for my purpose? Sorry for the stupid question. :-)

[Zsigmond Rab, modificado 10 Anos atrás.]

Hi George,

for example you can take the single-approver-definition.xml. The assignements are based on roles.

If you're completely unfamiliar with it, and you haven't done yet, you should read the documentation first: http://www.liferay.com/documentation/liferay-portal/6.1/user-guide/-/ai/workflow-with-kal-3.

Hi Zsigmond,

I studied the samples in src/META-INF/definitions folder, there are 4 XML files, shall I read this one "single-approver-definition.xml"? If so, which section in the XML file should I modify so that it could support multiple people to the approver role? Thanks.

[Zsigmond Rab, modificado 10 Anos atrás.]

Hi George,

if you have an approver role, you have to assign this to the task in the definition, after assign users to that role in the portal. For the first one you can check the assignment task, the second step is independent from the workflow definition.

Zsigmond

Hi George,

You can have multiple users in approval role. in single-approver-definition.xml we have below section.

<assignments>
<roles>
<role>
<role-type>organization</role-type>
<name>Organization Administrator</name>
</role>
<role>
<role-type>organization</role-type>
<name>Organization Content Reviewer</name>
</role>
<role>
<role-type>organization</role-type>
<name>Organization Owner</name>
</role>
<role>
<role-type>regular</role-type>
<name>Administrator</name>
</role>
<role>
<role-type>regular</role-type>
<name>Portal Content Reviewer</name>
</role>
<role>
<role-type>site</role-type>
<name>Site Administrator</name>
</role>
<role>
<role-type>site</role-type>
<name>Site Content Reviewer</name>
</role>
<role>
<role-type>site</role-type>
<name>Site Owner</name>
</role>
</roles>
</assignments>

This means, we will define the roles to whom the task will assign. here we have role-type which indicates whether it is a regular role or site role organization role. and name tag indicates the role name what ever you have created.
Users who have the specified role in xml, those user will get task in their workflow for approval.
