Need to start process without SAP_BPM_SuperAdmin

[Former Member]

We would like to give a class of users the ability to launch BPM processes without giving them SAP_BPM_SuperAdmin.

The problem with doing that, is that they could access NWA and change the process repository, if they found there way there.

Is there a way to just assign the role temporarily to the application?

Any thoughts?

Hi Jim,

Try this:

Create a wsdl in your bpm dc and assign it as an interface to the 'Start' of your bpm process. Build and depoy the bpm dc. Now create a small webdynpro dc with a button say Start Process and call the web-service which you have assigned to the Start of the process. Assign this wd dc to a page/role and assign it to the reqd users.

Hope it helps.

Arjun,

I have created the Web DynPro application which calls the service to launch the process, and created a page to call the app. It works.

However, in order to successfully launch it, the user must have SAP_BPM_SuperAdmin in his role.

We want our normal end-users to be able to launch this process, but do not want them to have Admin rights if they were to find their way to the NWA screens.

Hope that this makes my problem clear.

Thanks.

Try this

Create a role " BPM_START" and assign the action tc_bpemnwa~permission(SAP_BPM_SuperAdmin) to it.

Now add this role to the user.

With SP04, there is a new UME action "TRIGGEREVENT" with corresponding role "SAP_BPM_TRIGGER_EVENT", which a user needs to have in order to start processes.

The Superadmin role is no longer required. The official documentation will be updated shortly.

as for 7.2, it is not possible.

don't know if 7.3 can bring some change to this "issue".
