Hello,

I’m actually implementing a new process in which I need to know if the connected user is supervisor of another process.

Is there any “standard” way (webservice, macro, application…) to know the permissions of a user in a selected process (process are listed in a drop down list).

Thanks

Hi @nvarlet,

Are you looking for users in a Process Supervisor participant? Or users who have supervisor access to the process?

Process Managers and Administrators for example are not supervisors but do have supervisor permissions.

Regards,  
Eddy.

Hello @eddy.daouk,  
In my case, I’m looking for process supervisors.

My goal is to implement a function similar to the following one :

bool IsProcessSupervisor(processName, processVersion, username)

Regards.
