AEM6.5 How to get the workflow initator user-group

Hi All,
I have to check a condition where I need to get the user who initiated the workflow and then find it's user group.

if user-group belongs to "allowed-managers" then execute the piece of code, so how to get the user-group.??

 

public void execute(WorkItem workItem, WorkflowSession workflowSession, MetaDataMap metaDataMap) throws WorkflowException { String payload = workItem.getWorkflowData().getPayload().toString(); ResourceResolver resourceResolver = resourceResolverUtil.getResourceResolver(); Session session = resourceResolver.adaptTo(Session.class); String workflowInitiator = workItem.getWorkflow().getInitiator(); //get the User-group for the person who has trigered the workflow. //check if user belongs to "allowed-managers" then execute the piece of code if(usergroup == "allowed-managers"){ //execute code } }

 

 

I have tried a way getting null:

 

public void execute(WorkItem workItem, WorkflowSession workflowSession, MetaDataMap metaDataMap) throws WorkflowException { String payload = workItem.getWorkflowData().getPayload().toString(); ResourceResolver resourceResolver = resourceResolverUtil.getResourceResolver(); Session session = resourceResolver.adaptTo(Session.class); String workflowInitiator = workItem.getWorkflow().getInitiator(); String usergroup = getUserGroup(resourceResolver, workflowInitiator); if(usergroup == "allowed-managers"){ //execute code } } private String getUserGroup(ResourceResolver resourceResolver, String userId) { String userGroup = null; try { UserManager userManager = resourceResolver.adaptTo(UserManager.class); Authorizable authorizable = userManager.getAuthorizable(userId); if (authorizable != null) { Iterator<Group> groups = authorizable.memberOf(); while (groups.hasNext()) { Group group = groups.next(); if (group.getID().equals("allowed-managers")) { userGroup = group.getID(); break; } } } } catch (RepositoryException e) { // Handle exception } return userGroup; }

Hi @marcos_aem ,

Below code is working fine with Servlet, You can update the code to work in WorkflowPorcess.

In WorkflowProcess, Get ResourceResolver from ResourceResolverFactory as below.

@Reference
ResourceResolverFactory resourceResolverFactory;

 

Session session = workflowSession.getSession();
ResourceResolver resourceResolver = resourceResolverFactory.getResourceResolver(Collections.singletonMap("user.jcr.session", (Object) session));

 

Servlet Class

//Getting resourceResolver from request
ResourceResolver resourceResolver = request.getResourceResolver();

//Getting userId from request parameter
String userId = request.getParameter("userId");

//UserManager Object from resourceResolver
UserManager userManager = resourceResolver.adaptTo(UserManager.class);

//Getting user from userId
User user = (User) userManager.getAuthorizable(userId);
if (user != null) {
    //List of all groups
    Iterator<Group> groups = user.memberOf();
    while (groups.hasNext()) {
        Group currentGroup = groups.next();
        String groupID = currentGroup.getID();
        //Comparing the groups with given groupId(Replace administrators with allowed-managers groupId)
        if (groupID.equalsIgnoreCase("administrators")) {
            //Custom Code
        }
    }
}

Hope this will help you !!

Regards,

Shiv

    Hello @marcos_aem 

     

    The code doesn't say much about how ResourceResolver  was retrieved.

    Could you possibly check, which user does it belong to? Does that user have access to /home/users and /home/groups to read the info about the Workflow Initiator and also the groups that he belongs to?
