Blocking views of tasks from menus

olegc

Today we allow branches and their admins to be self-sufficient. However, when they want ot examine open workflows and tasks, and choose All Jobs, they can view jobs from all branches, not simply for their particular branch. (most have admin role on the box). Is there a way to change this in the UI or filter so that only their specific branch workflow reports are visible to them? Thanks.

Out of the box - no, I do not believe any such filtering exists. However, I recently worked on updating a customer's custom workflow reporting mechanism which *did* restrict viewing of information regarding *past* jobs, by branch path.

I think the same concept could be used to create a custom menu item that showed information about *active* jobs along the same lines:

Read in the output of iwgetwfobj -r
Parse it to determine which workflows have tasks with areavpath's that match the desired branch specification, and then format the information for those jobs / tasks and present it to the user.
