I am using Liferay 6.1.1 CE. I’ve created a multilevel kaleo workflow, by writing a definition in a xml file and loading it to the server. It works fine.
My problem is in the role assigning. I have created 2 roles, project manager and hos, also assigned this roles to two users.
But the workflow is not working. When i give portal content reviewer role to this users, it works. My first task is review and second is recommended.
help me..thanks in advance.this is my code
