Participant Resolver Overview

A workflow activity must reference the list of participants (or approvers) who are authorized to approve a workflow activity. This reference is made in the activity’s properties, which are defined in the user interface for the particular workflow engine you are using.

Rather than hard-code a list of participants into a workflow activity’s properties, the participants are referenced by an arbitrary name that is mapped to a participant resolver.

The following are the different types of participant resolvers:

Role type

Participants are the members of a particular role.

Group type

Participants are the members of a particular group.

Filter type

Participants are selected through a search filter.

Custom type

Participants are determined by a custom participant resolver.

Note: For more information about other types of participant resolvers, see the Administration Guide.
