groups in roles?

Hello

Is it possible to use groups in rolevalues?

For example, I'd like to create a group "admins":

<role name="admin"
restricted="true">
	<description>Admins</description>
	<rolevalue>admins</description>
</role>

Judging from the documentation, it seems like it would now
expect
"admin" to be a user... How can I do this?

Thank you and kind regards

Hi,
where would you like to define the members of that group
admins?
At the moment it would be possible to store them in a
databitvalue,
or comma seperated in the rolevalue element.
It is also possible to merge other roles to a new one by
using
<roleref> elements.

I was thinking to define them in the database using the
user, userGroup, etc.
tables, but i figure that's not possible atm...

Kind regards & thank you

The advantage of defining roles inside the workflow
definition is that 
the roles are
bound to that workflow and its revision.

Hmm, okay, I understand that, but for our use, I'd like to
have a group
"customers" with potentially 100's of users. To
handle the definition
inside the workflow, means we have to deploy the workflow on
every new
customer.

Could I assign the value to the databit from a database
using groovy for
example? Is there a way to access the swamp database
connection from
inside a script?

Thank you and kind regards

Flavio

Hi, the groovy scripts can contain any code, so it should be
possible to
do database queries. But I think the better way would be to
extend
WorkflowRole.java to be able to handle references to the
database roles.
