Authorization Types

Manual actions can also specify the authorization type of the WorkItem to be created. The authorization type differs from the item type in that the system automatically filters the work items returned in a query to exclude those for which the current administrator is not authorized. Typically, any administrator with the Approver capability is authorized to view all work items in the organizations they control.

To specify a work item authorization type in the manual action, use the authType attribute as follows:

<ManualAction authType=’RoleApproval’>
