Hi Everyone.

Docs seems not clear regading rest alternatives and endpoints.  
I have a question about rest Endpoints.

In Flowable we have

- REST API exposed for example in process-api/runtime/tasks with basic-auth (opened to every user who has REST api privileges, user logged can do everything on processes and task with no restrictions)

- UI REST API exposed for example in app/rest/query/tasks with cookie auth for angular Ui (endpoints do a user permissions check on operations like claim, can i claim that task? otherwise exception)

then there is a parameter:  
–If false, disables the rest api in the task app  
#flowable.task.app.rest-enabled=true

of which endpoint are we talking about for rest-enabled task app??

Thanks,  
Ale.
