How a user is assigned to startEvent

BPMN & Modeling Discussion & Questions

Hi,

As a user is assigned to the startEvent as it is done in the UserTask’s, what I want to do is assign a user to the StartEvent, the user that I want to assign is “COM” this user already exists and I have assigned it to several UserTaks where I need this user.

What I did was add the user “COM” in initiator but at the moment of starting the process it does not appear that the StartEvent has the assigned user “COM”.

Someone knows how the user “COM” should be assigned to the StartEvent.

Attached image of the UserTask´s that have the user “COM” assigned.

Can someone help me please.

Hi @MarioH,

the initiator is the name of a process variable: https://docs.camunda.org/manual/7.14/reference/bpmn20/custom-extensions/extension-attributes/#initiator.

You can access the value through an expression later on: https://docs.camunda.org/manual/7.14/user-guide/process-engine/expression-language/#process-variables.

Hope this helps, Ingo
