Hi All!!
Is it possible to differentiate roles roles in K2? I need to be able to 'flag' a user who is a Supervisor(Manager) role. I initialy started looking at the tables in the k2Server DB and havnt had much luck!
Any help will be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks!!

Depending on what you are trying to do, there are several ways to do this:
1. If your AD is populated with organization information, you can route a task to the manager of a given user
2. You could create a role called 'Managers' that contains all of the users who are managers
3. You could create a SmartObject that contains information about your users and organizational structure, then use the SmartObject in a destination rule. For example, let's say you have a SO that has a definition like this: UserID, Dept, ManagerFlag. You could use this SO as a destination and specify criteria based on other process and activity variables so you could select the UserID who is a manager of the Accounting department.
There are probably even more variations depending on what you are trying to do.

Thanks David!
The SO idea is a great one but unfortunately cannot be used in my case! :(
Does K2 have some kind of built-in manager role by any chance? If so, how would I be able to check in the tables for example to determine if that person is set to a Manager role?
Thanks again!!

K2 does not have any built in manager.
Why not use option #2 as stated by David?:

Yes, there is a built-in concept of roles. You can define your own roles and the members of those roles.
