Group Task owner to be the owner of Deploy Task

SonaliKulkarni

Hi ,
I need help urgently.

I am stuck at the deploy to Staging task where the initiator of the workflow is becoming the owner of this task and does not have descriptor rights hence the deployments are failing.

I want to modify my modeler in a way that the group task owner which is the predecessor of deploy to Staging task should be able to deploy to Staging.

The sequence of Tasks are as follows -
Group Task ->Submit Task ->Deploy to Staging.

You need to include an ExternalTask or an iwat trigger script.
The former would have to run after the group task, but before the deployment task, and would have to be owned by a TS admin or master account - to take the owner of the group task and set it as the owner of the deploy task.
The latter would trigger when the group task is taken and essentially do the same thing as described above for the external task.

Alternatively, use a hard-coded account with deployment privileges to own the deployment task or register all users as OD users with rights to the deployment initiated by the workflow or OD admins with rights to all deployments.
