Hi,  
One of the basic questions which I could easily do in Proprietary BPM tools, I dont see how it can be done using Flowable.

- Requirement to create a process with a role/group hierarchy (say Accounting, Sales etc.)
- Authentication needs to happen with AD or ApacheDS through LDAP
- Would like to assign some of the LDAP groups/users to the process candidate groups so that right user can be authorised to perform the task or process
- Typically I will create a visual Org Model or LDAP Container for the same, then would map these candidate groups to LDAP users, seems pretty straightforward. I dont see how this can be done properly in Flowable.

Thanks  
Som
