Chapter 2 Concepts and Definitions : System Actions

System Actions
System actions are actions that a user may wish to perform at runtime but that need to be authorized, or need to be restricted to users with a certain level of authority. These actions might include, for example re-allocating work-items, skipping work-items, viewing another user’s work list, or administering resources.
This authorization is implemented by associating system actions with privileges within Organization Modeler. See Capability and Privilege for more details about privileges. See the BPM Concepts documentation for an introduction to system actions.
In Organization Modeler:
In all these cases you can associate a system action with one or more privileges. As described in Capability and Privilege, privileges can have qualifiers which determine the level of the privilege. At run time, only users who hold the associated privilege with any required level of qualifier (or if more than one privilege is associated with a particular system action, users who hold all the associated privileges) are then allowed to carry out that system action.
As well as possessing the correct privileges, users may need to belong to an appropriate user access set in order to perform a particular system action. See the TIBCO Workspace documentation for more information on user access sets.
The Organization Admin system action allows the user to see organization models other than the one they are part of, and allows them to view process instances started by members of these organizations.
At runtime, BPM maintains a list of system actions and of privileges, as defined in the organization model, and thus determines whether a user is authorized to carry out a particular action.
The following system actions can be associated with privileges at the Organization Model level:
The following system actions are considered "scoped", that is, they are set on specific groups, organization units, and positions using the Organization Modeler. The scoped system actions are specifically used to control access to, and functions from, supervised work views.:
