3.23 Human Task Editor - Access Page - Content Tab

Use to specify access rules for task content and task actions, specify workflow signature policies, and specify task restrictions through callback classes. How?

These rules determine the parts of a task that participants can view and update. Access rules are enforced by the workflow service by applying rules on the task object during the retrieval and update of the task.

For example, you can assign the task creator and task owner with read permissions on the payload part of a task.

Note: Access rules are always applied on top of what the system permits, depending on who is performing the action and the current state of the task.

Element Description

Select access levels for each content item

Select the method for displaying task content in this dialog. Note that choosing the currently deselected option causes all settings to reset to their default values.

  • Coarse grained: Displays the task content as a whole (for example, displays only one payload or reviewer)

  • Fine grained: Displays the content as individual elements. For example, displays all payloads (such as p1, p2, and p3) and all reviewers assigned to this task (such as jstein, wfaulk, and cdickens)

Task Content Table

Displays the contents of a task (for example, PAYLOAD and ATTACHMENTS) and the participants with read or write privileges for acting upon this content (for example, ADMIN and APPROVERS).

Select the content for a participant (for example, content PAYLOAD for participant ADMIN) and select a privilege from the dropdown list (for example, READ, WRITE, or NONE).

Signature policy

Select Configure Policy from the dropdown list to specify a workflow signature policy. Digital signatures provide a mechanism for the nonrepudiation of digitally-signed human tasks. This ability to mandate that a participant acting on a task signs the details and their action before the task is updated ensures that they cannot repudiate it later.

Specify Restricted Assignment

Click Configure Restricted Assignments to specify a callback class to restrict the users to which a task can be reassigned or routed.
