--Process model Security Configuration---

rafaell1 over 8 years ago

Hi,

Is there a way to create an Expression or Report for retrieving information regarding complete security configuration for a Process Model - as we can see in the design, imagem attached, - or the list of actions/process a given user can start, but this user is not the logged-in user?
I have a scenario here where I have to check at first if a given user can start/execute other processes model.
Thanks in advance!

I don't think you can get that information in an expression or report, but you should be able to get it from a plugin. Check out AbstractProcessModel.getSecurity() -- docs.appian.com/.../ProcessModel.html

There is also a log that records the security role map for Appian objects. You may be able to use the log reader shared component to pull/parse the info for process models.

If you are not able to go with the above mentioned way, may be we can allow user to click on the link or the process model and based on the security we can show the user like he/she doesn't have the privileges. Let me know if you wanted to do this as we did it in our application as the same

Thanks a lot everyone for your answers!
@carloss, the class ProcessModel() has some methods to get security mapped to a model, do you know if there is some shared component or plugin already using this class?
@joshi, do you know a good shared component that access these logs?
@Harsha, thanks but it's not the case because in my scenario there is no user interaction,

Process Model Utilities (link below; I haven't used it) contains a smart service called Set PM Security. I don't see anything to get PM security, but probably looking at the code you should be able to find a way to get that information.
