Exclude Participants

Excluding participants lets you control who can work on tasks such as approving the tasks.

You can control the users that can approve a task by excluding any user from acting on a task. For example, you can ensure that requestors cannot approve their own requests, and prevent unauthorized users from acting on a task. If you want to exclude multiple users, you can specify an expression. You can enter comma separated usernames and user IDs in the expression.

To exclude participants:

  1. Select a human task activity in a process, and open its Properties pane.
  2. In the Properties pane, scroll to the Assignees section.
  3. In the Exclude the following section, select the required checkboxes:
    • Creator
    • Expression

      If you select the Expression checkbox, the Enter an expression field appears where you can type the required expression.
