How to assign group/user to the Work Item programatically

[Former Community Member]

Hi,

    I have a use case which states author workflow need to be called automatically based on node modification.Within that workflow I have to call approver workflow,participants need to be created and assigned based on authors group. I created a new group with User Manager Interface. How to assign this created group to the Work Item in the approver workflow? Please guide me how to achieve this.

I tried this in author's workflow process step

Group newGroup = userManager.createGroup(approverGroup,approverGroup , null);

Thanks!

Hi, 

Use the dynamic participant workflow step in your workflow and have the logic of creating and assigning the user/group in that step. refer [1] and [2] for the same.
