How to start authorization configuration

Hi all,
I’m fighting with the authorization system and I can’t get it working. I’m pretty sure it is because I misunderstood something very basic. I only added the following authorizations:

I had expected that when a user logs in who just belongs to the group “checkers”, the only thing he would see would be the tasklist. But he sees everything: tasklist, cockpit, and admin.

What also gives me trouble is that the screenshots at Authorization Management | docs.camunda.org differ from how things look in the current version (camunda spring boot 3.4.1). Or do I have to add a further spring-boot dependency to make the authorization system work?

Many thanks in advance!

Regards,
Christian

Hi @cjacobme,

the spring boot configuration https://docs.camunda.org/manual/7.12/user-guide/spring-boot-integration/configuration/#camunda-engine-properties refers to the default setting, which is false, see the docs here: https://docs.camunda.org/manual/7.12/user-guide/process-engine/authorization-service/#enable-authorization-checks.

If you enable the authorization, everything will work as expected.

Hope this helps, Ingo

Hi Ingo,
