Map a User to the Tester Position in the Organization Model

TIBCO BPM Enterprise applications generate work items, and sends them to positions or groups in the organization model.

A system administrator maps users to positions or groups in the organization model so that they can receive and process work items sent to those groups or positions.

For example, in the WelcomeUsers application, the Display Message user task generates work items, and sends them to the Tester position. A system administrator must map at least one user to the Tester position to process those work items.

In this tutorial, you will map the user, Clint Hill, to the Tester position.

Procedure

  1. From the Organization Browser, click the XYZCorp LDAP container in the list of All LDAP Containers.
  2. Click Browse Organization.
  3. In the Version field, select 1.

    This is the version of the organization model that was deployed earlier in the tutorial.

  4. Navigate down into the XYZInsurance organization to the Tester position:

  5. From the list of resources in the left pane, drag Clint Hill into the Tester position in the right pane.

    There are a number of ways to map a user to a position or group, but this is the easiest if you are only mapping a single user.

    For information about other ways to map a user, see Mapping Resources.

  6. On the Add resource dialog, optionally modify the resource name or resource label for the user, then click Create Resource.

    The resource name is the name the user must use to log into BPM applications. The resource label is the name shown in various areas of the Organization Browser. The resource name and label can be modified at a later time. See "Renaming a Resource" in the TIBCO BPM Enterprise Administration guide.

    Clint Hill is now shown as a member of the Tester position:

    Also notice in the list of resources in the XYZCorp LDAP container, there is a to the left of Clint Hill. This indicates that Clint Hill is a BPM resource and can log into BPM applications. Resources that have a icon to the left of their name are candidate resources and cannot log into BPM applications.

Result

  • Clint Hill can log into the WelcomeUsers application with the unique user name Clint Hill.
  • He will use his password defined in the LDAP resource.
  • He has become a Tester in the Test Department.
  • He will receive work items that the WelcomeUsers application generates for the Tester position.
  • He is not available as a candidate resource for any other BPM applications that use the same LDAP resource.

What to do next

Run the Welcome users Application
