This type of assignment allows associating multiple mechanisms to generate more complex and intricate logics to select users to whom a certain action is assigned. By associating multiple mechanisms, you can select either all users or only users present in all mechanisms (concept of intersection).

To delete an added mechanism, simply select it and click Delete.

Types of association
How to perform the association of the added mechanisms to define process managers. Available options are:

• All users from all mechanisms: when it is selected, all users from all added mechanisms are defined as process managers;
• Only selected users from all mechanisms: when it is selected, only users that are part of all the added mechanisms are defined as process managers, that is, this option uses the concept of intersection.

This type of mechanism allows you to assign a particular action to all users from a group.

This type of mechanism allows you to assign an activity to a pool of resources and all users from the given group can take it on.

This type of mechanism allows you to assign a particular action to all users of a role.

This type of mechanism allows you to assign an activity to a pool of resources and all users of the given role can take it on.

This type of mechanism allows you to assign a particular action to a specific user.

This type of mechanism allows you to assign a particular action to a specific user to be entered in a particular field on the form associated with a process.

You cannot use this mechanism for the initial activity of a process, because it depends on form records, which do not yet exist for the initial activity.

This type of mechanism allows you to assign a particular action to a specific user that performed a particular process activity.

Performed activity
Activity whose performer is considered to be assigned an action.

Returns
User who performed the activity and will be considered in the assignment mechanism. Available options are:

• First execution: when it is selected, the user to be considered in the assignment mechanism is the first performer of the selected activity;
• Last execution: when it is selected, the user to be considered in the assignment mechanism is the one who last performed the selected activity in the process; This option only makes sense if the selected activity is performed more than once throughout the process.

All executions: when it is selected, all users who have permission to perform the selected task are considered in the assignment mechanism. This option only makes sense if the selected activity is performed more than once throughout the process.

This type of mechanism allows you to assign a particular action to the users who belong to the same groups as the user who initiated a process request or as the authenticated user (current).

Search for users from groups
User from the groups that are considered in the assignment mechanism. Available options are:

• From requesters group: when it is selected, the users who belong to the same groups as the user who initiated the request are considered in the mechanism;
• From current user group: when it is selected, the users who belong to the same groups as the authenticated user are considered in the mechanism;

Only work groups
When it is checked, only work groups are considered (community groups to which the user belongs are not considered).

Add community groups
When it is checked, both work groups and the community groups to which the user belongs are considered.

This type of mechanism allows you to assign the security criteria of documents attached to process requests to all active users.

This mechanism is only available for defining security for process attachments and there are no settings available for it. 

For detailed information on security criteria available for documents attached to process requests, see Process settings.
