Resources (Users)

Resources represent users who are explicitly named individuals among whom work items can be distributed. Information on users is held in the LDAP-compliant corporate directories used by the enterprise.

Unlike other elements in the organization model, users are not defined in TIBCO Business Studio - BPM Edition ’s Organization Modeler. Instead, users are added to TIBCO BPM Enterprise at runtime from the enterprise’s LDAP-compliant corporate directories. They can then be assigned to positions and/or groups. A user can be assigned to many groups/positions, and a group/position can be associated with many users.

Once added to the system, users can access TIBCO BPM Enterprise by logging in to a TIBCO BPM Enterprise client application. They can access their own work list, which contains all the work items assigned to them. The privileges that they hold determine what parts of the system they can see and what they can do.
