The difference between Process permissions and Instance permissions

Process permissions give users the rights to the Process model whereas Instance permissions give users access to all instances of the process. 


Assigning users permissions in this space requires the users to have corresponding space permissions, for example:  Model, Build, Run or Admin, depending on the setup.


Permissions available

Process permissions

  • View: Allows the user to view the process.

  • Edit:The user can view the process, open it in Process Studio and make any changes except for publishing and deploying.

  • Full control: The user receives all view and edit permissions and can share the process with others, publish, deploy, or delete the process. They will also have access to the application configuration settings.

NoteIt is best practice to make sure there is always one group that has Full control to prevent loss of access to the process. It is best to have an Admin group added with full control of each process so that members of the admin group can maintain access to processes.


Instances permissions

  • None: The user will receive no rights to instances, tasks, or form information in deployed processes.

  • View:This allows users to see all ongoing and completed instances, tasks, and form data.

  • Edit: Lets users see and edit all ongoing and completed instances, tasks, and form data.


Collaborative Modeling Sessions

If you share your process with another user with the permission Edit or Full control you both can use the functionality Notes and Collaborate to make the development a lot more collaborative. 


Modeling Sessions are also an available feature that makes the tool more collaborative. All users that have rights to model the process can do so at the same time. Read more about modeling sessions here.
