<DIV><SPAN class=538210518-25072006><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>In a
similar fashion, we needed to assign 8 roles to a task. We couldn't use a
composite role because they are NOT to be grouped (I wasn't aware of your
problem). I found it kind of annoying to do it using PFTC's agent assignment
since you have to repeat the step 8 times. However, using PPOMW, we were at
least able to use a wildcard search to bring up all 8 roles and then use the
check boxes to pick them all. So, if your 20 roles all have part of their name
the same you can select them all using a wildcard search.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

Re: Using composite roles in agent assignment<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV>G'day Paul,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I believe you are correct. The role that is linked to the Task needs to be
assigned to agents. Having a composite role which brings together a number of
other roles doesn't link it to users who have any of the individual roles and
indeed you wouldn't want to. If this were the case and you had a general
role which gave basic access that was allocated to each composite
role, then linking any composite role would be the same as marking the task
as general. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>One concept that I have used before where there are company code specific
roles and I wanted each company code linked to the same task was to have the
security people create a dummy role which was included in each of the company
code specifc roles. This way I could just link the task to the dummy non-cocd
specific role knowing that users within each CoCd would be assigned this
role. This is really just transfering maintenance effort to the security
team rather than a WF admin team, however I believe that the security team can
be quite sexy about it with help of some external products. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Good luck. If you do come up with anything cunning please report
back.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Have fun,</DIV>

<DIV><BR>Hi,<BR> <BR> I need to assign about 20 roles to a task, to
define the set of possible agents. I was hoping to get around this by defining
a COMPOSITE role, which includes these 20 single roles.<BR> <BR>I had
never actually tried using composite before, but I always assumed that it
would work - I hoped task would 'inherit' the users assigned to each
single role. <BR> <BR>But this turns out to be wrong - the workflow fails
because the task has no possible agents! When you navigate through the Agent
maintenance screen, you cannot drill down to any agents.<BR> <BR>Can
somebody confirm / deny that composite roles CANNOT be used for agent
assignment (except when the agents are directly assigned to the composite role
itself)? <BR> <BR>thanks,<BR>Paul<BR><BR><BR><BR>
