I am working in Liferay Portal. I have created my custom work flow and created the portlet to start the work flow. I am done successfully with this but I am facing one problem, when the user clicks on Assign to button from Workflow Tasks to assign the task to some other user the combo box which display available users, it only display the users who has the Administrator or Owner Roles.
As i have developed custom work flow in which i have defined my own roles, i wish to display the users with that roles in the combo box. I have searched a lot but not able to get the proper solution for this.
If anyone has any idea please kindly help.
For this you have to create a hook and you have to write the code in file named "workflow_task_action.jsp" within Workflow_task.....
In this file code for that combobox which you require is available.

I need a setup where users can update a page and then submit it for approval/activation in AEM 6.2. The page would be submitted to workflow where a content approver/administrator would review and publish the page. This seems like a common setup for content managment, but I can't figure out how to do it in AEM.
I have done the following:
setup a user that has permission to update but does NOT have
replicate permission on folderX.
setup users with update and replicate permissions on folderX and added them to a group "content-authors-approvers"
created a workflow where the first step of the workflow is the page will be submitted for approval and publication to member of "content-authors-approvers" group
assigned this workflow to folderX
However, when a user does NOT have replicate permission, the "publish" option does not show up at all. This makes sense, really....but then, how does one go about setting up a workflow like this?
From what I've read about this in earlier versions of AEM/CQ5, the replicate/publish option was still available to all users, but it would automatically kick off workflow if the user did not have replicate permissions. (see Start a workflow on page activation without activating the page in CQ5 )
this seems to have changed in 6.2. can anyone help?
I have tried looking up online, but found nothing
There is a native workflow to handle that. It's named Publish Example. see it here: http://localhost:4502/etc/workflow/models/publish_example.html . I believe that it's better then the automatic triggering cause the author actually knows he triggers a workflow (whilst when it happened automatically there was no info about that). To explicitly call it you have to either from /siteadmin select a page and click workflow on it, or do it from sidekick or in touch.

We have a requirement in our project like we want to hide some workflows in siteadmin. We are using AEM 6.1. Please let us know if anybody has any solution. any help is highly appreciated.

Using User Permissions
This can be controlled by user permissions. The permissions can be updated in useradmin console to remove read permission from the workflow models you want not be shown to user. Permissions can be managed via groups
Please note that there are 2 workflow models for Schedule Activation/Deactivation, the read access is required for these in case you want user to be able to use "Activate/Deactivate Later" OOTB functionality in siteadmin/damadmin console. These 2 are anyways not shown in workflow list while initiating workflow from siteadmin/damadmin console, but we should take care while removing read permissions.
This solution is verified.
Using Model changes
Model can updated to make it as system workflow refer Adobe Forum Link. Verify this one with Day Care to see if there is a side effect.
I have a infopath form already built, how do I achieve the following?
user is able to access the form via infopath form web part.
user is able to fill out the form and submit via the web part.
user cannot go to Site Contents to even view the result, neither their own, nor others'
user cannot view/edit any results. Submit data only.
Is this possible in SharePoint 2013? So far the closest I could get to is use custom permission level to allow user to only view but not edit item. But I don't want them to even view the result of others. They should only see the form via the web part and submit data there.
Create custom Event receiver on item added event. once the item added just break the permission inheritance and assign the permission for admin only.
So now user can submit the data but they can't able to see that
I think it is possible to submit the form data to another site by web services.
Is there any special security privileges that i need to give my users so that they can run some custom code? I have a javascript library that is triggered on a button click that then gets all of the selected items in a subgrid. When I get all of the check-boxed items I then feed that into an update operation and upload the string if items (in the form of GUIDs) into a Single Line Textbox field on my entity. Once that field is updated they will trigger a dialog which consumes the textbox field and does some more work on it.
The problem is that nothing happens. I solved one issue once I figured out that the user needs Organizational write access to the entity, but now I see another exception "...is missing prvReadWorkflow privilege" does that mean these users need Read Access on Organizational workflows?
Am I missing anything else?
I don't have an explaination for why you require read access to workflows for this update operation, but this microsoft CRM forum post appears to be about the same issue you are having.
Tanguy suggests you add read access to processes for the affected user.
I'm struggling to find much documentation on Dynamics CRM 2011 and have a problem. I'm not looking for code more a pointer as to the correct method of approach (workflow, dialog, custom HTML web resource etc)
I basically want something that does the following:
Go to Contact list
Select some contacts
Ribbon action opens a box that allows me
to select a custom role from a drop down list (source is a dynamics
entity)
Select a radio box for either add or remove role
Save the changes, this will add or remove a role from the contact and also send an email to that contact
I know how to get a list of selected recordIDs but I am not sure if I should be calling a dialog or a custom HTML page with JS.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
This may not work at all for your scenario but it is worth thinking out of the box sometimes. This would only work if you have a small number of roles and the roles don't change that often.
Add checkboxes on the Contact, one for each role. Build workflows that fire on update of those checkboxes that send your emails. Now users can quickly edit lots of Contact Roles by using the Multi-Edit feature.
The benefit of this approach is it is a "no code" solution and it is very easy for the User since it uses out-of-the-box functionality. The downside is that you need to maintain those checkboxes. But it may be easier than writing a bunch of web resources and javascript!
I have assembled a list of bookmarks on the subject here. I hope the link works.
Gareth Tucker's site is specially interesting.
In the end the solution was to create a Ribbon item that accepted the selected Guids from the contact list.
Then read those in from a web resource (Silverlight) which called into the sdk and created / removed the records accordingly
