Title: Task Permissions Matrix Describe the issue: - As per the "Table 12.2. Main Operations Permissions Matrix" from our BPMS 6.1 Development Guide [1] the people like "Initiator,Stakeholder,Potential" can perform "release" operation on a Task. (i.e. all roles are marked as "+") - As per the WS-HT 1.1 specification [2] this is what it says about who can perform "release". ~~~ 4.10.2 Releasing a Human Task The current actual owner of a human task can release a task to again make it available for all potential owners. A task can be released from active states that have an actual owner (Reserved, InProgress), transitioning it into the Ready state ~~~ and ~~~ 7.1.5 Operation Authorization In the table in Page 91, only Actual Owner is marks as "+". Initiator and Administrator are marked as "MAY". Potential Owner is marked as "n/a" ~~~ - our jBPM6 code allows only Owner and BusinessAdministrator to perform "release" operation. ./jbpm-6.2.0.Final-redhat-4/jbpm-human-task/jbpm-human-task-core/src/main/resources/operations-dsl.mvel ~~~ ... Operation.Release : [ new OperationCommand().{ status = [ Status.Reserved, Status.InProgress ], allowed = [Allowed.Owner, Allowed.BusinessAdministrator ], setNewOwnerToNull = true, newStatus = Status.Ready } ], ... ~~~ [1] https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_JBoss_BPM_Suite/6.1/html/Development_Guide/sect-Task_Permissions.html#Task_Permissions_Matrix [2] http://docs.oasis-open.org/bpel4people/ws-humantask-1.1-spec-cs-01.pdf Suggestions for improvement: - Please check it from respective SME and correct the statement in our document.
