Camunda set Assignee to Owner

Question

I'm modeling a process at a given time and want to assign a User Task to the user who created the instance of the process.

What should I put in my User Task "Assignee" field?

Thank you in advance

We solve this by setting a "startedBy" process variable on process start. Then, just use the variable value in the Assignee field: ${startedBy}.

You will have to modify your process start to get the logged in user. This can either be done by passing the variable to the "startProcessByKey" ... method or implementing a Listener on the start event that tries to get the user from the current session.

Ty ! I can do this in my @ProcessApplication class ? Overwriting with one method ? – Bruno Henrique Pachulski Camar Jul 14 '14 at 14:03
Do you have a custom tasklist or application that starts the process instances or do you use the camunda default? – Jan Galinski Jul 14 '14 at 15:08
I'm using the project as described in this URL http://camunda.org/get-started/developing-process-applications.html. You indicate me use another type of project? – Bruno Henrique Pachulski Camar Jul 14 '14 at 16:57

end listener on the start event works fine:

<camunda:executionListener expression="${execution.setVariable(&#39;startedBy&#39;, authenticatedUserId)}" event="end" />

We can set the process initiator through IdentityService.

public void test(){
    //start process
    identityService.setAuthenticatedUserId(userId);
    ProcessInstance processInstance = runtimeService.startProcessInstanceById(processDefinitionId);
    //query
    historyService.createHistoricProcessInstanceQuery().startedBy(userId).list()
}
