Subsitution and possible agents

[Gregory Utley]

Note also that the substitute may or may not be required to have the
same underlying authority (as the original agent) to execute the task.
That is dependent upon how the individual application is coded.

Hi Baskaran, 

Yes that is correct functionality.  If you were expecting something
different then you haven't understood the substitution process
correctly.

The point of substitution is to allow someone to receive a work item on
behalf of the original recipient - so effectively they are an "implicit"

possible agent by their relationship to the original recipient.  

 

Forwarding is of course a completely separate issue - as then the
recipient receives the work item on their own behalf, not on behalf of 

someone else.

Hi Everyone,

We have an issue in 4.7 with substitution.  A substitute agent is able
to execute the workitem even though they do not belong to the possible
agents list.  No errors or warnings.  Task has "Forwarding not allowed"
set, possible agents come from a Role, and the substitute is not
assigned to that Role.

 

Is this an authorization issue?  Any clues would be appreciated.

 

TIA,

Baskaran.
