This article describes how to import and edit BPMN processes in Identity Manager Admin (PRIME Designer).PRIME supports BPMN 2.0 standard.

Note

Only the task's attributes may be modified, not the structure of the process.

  1. In the Task List tab, add a description to the task under Description. The description can be entered in more than one language using the symbol.
  2. Under Attributes, configure the data processing and user interaction that is to take place in this step. You can enable the editor function with the EDIT button (pen). The attributes that can be set in the Task Editor depend on the type of selected task. A detailed description can be found in Set up process in Identity Manager.
  3. The entire BPMN process can be displayed graphically using the Preview button. Use the adjusted button to zoom in.
  4. In the Permissions tab, allocate individual users and roles permissions to Delete or Update the process definition in PRIME Designer and Identity Manager Admin and to start the process in PRIME Explorer in Identity Manager or – in a workflow – perform individual tasks.
