Delegation Roles

Description

The permissiondelegation requestroles process type is used to defineallow businessthe processesusers to requestdelegate temporary their own permissions. 

That process is defined by default with 43 steps, but you can add new, delete and update steps to customize your business process. 

  • Start
  • Approve 
  • Apply changes
  • End

You could add new steps, delete steps, and custom steps to define your process workflow.

We will use two concepts to explain that process, identity, and end-user. Identity will be the identity or user that will be created, updated, or deleted in Soffid Console. The end-user will be the Soffid user who requests processes using the self-service portal.

Process editor

  • Process name: identifier name of the workflow. This name will be used to label the workflow for the end-user.
  • Process type:  to use this BPM editor you need to select Use management.
  • Description: a brief description of the workflow. When an end-user starts a workflow, this text will be displayed in the Actions log tab.
  • Initiators: here you could configure the roles or the identities that could start a new workflow from the Console and Selfservice. E.g. "admin" identity, "SOFFID_ADMIN" role, both separated by comma ',' as "admin, SOFFID_ADMIN" or if you want to publish the workflow to everyone, you can use the text "tothom" or the character '*'.  The users who are initiators will be able to request that process from their self-service portal.
  • Managers: here you could configure the roles or the identities that could perform tasks in the workflow as approve permissions or cancel the workflow.
  • Observers: here you could configure the roles or the identities that could open the workflows in read-only mode.
