How to set workflow was created by amaida
Hello.
I'm trying like to set Flexicontent to set up this workflow with flexicontent but I really I can't find the right way.

Supposing we have a new item:
1. user "a" should can choose only a specific category or content type. He write an item, can not edit permissions or state. State should be "unpublished";
2. user "b" receive notification and can only edit or set to "in progress";
3. user "c" receive notification and can only update state (to "waiting for approval";
4. user "d" set the item to published, and all users of the community will be notified of the new item.

The main feature I am looking is that user "a" should create only items in specific category and using specific "content type". I tried to do this creating a group "creatore a" with specific permissions , but without successs.

Could anyoone try to write down step by step how to reach this goal?

Thank you very much in advance.

Alessandro

Hello

ACL works as in Joomla (read Joomla docs) but we have more ACL options

-- Use ACL for controling category assignment ("create" privelege in component/category permissions) and also ACL for controling which types can be created by the user ("Create Items" ACL privelege in type configuration)

or you can use a submit menu item override to force a specific category and/or specific content type, thus ignoring ACL

-- you can do "receive notification" in component/type configuration, and also do "edit" via ACL edit privelege in component/categories, but the "only set to in progress" is not possible, you will either give user edit state or not give him edit state

- see answer above (for 2) maybe permitting specific states will be configurable in future version, now this is not available

- see answer above

-- see answer for 1, this is possible for both category and for (content) type
