A model can have up to three types of responsible persons assigned (availability depends on model type):
- Model Owner
- Model Responsible
- Workflow Responsible
All three roles can be assigned to the same person. When a model is created, the creating user is automatically set by default.
Note: Roles can also be assigned to a group — useful when multiple users should be notified of workflow errors, for example. In this case a group would be assigned as "Workflow Responsible".
General permissions and functional responsibility
All three are able to open the model and in case of a process model are able to open and view running executions (workflows) of a model. They are all able to see supervisor tasks.
Model Owner
The Model Owner is the owner of the model and usually has no responsibilities regarding modeling or execution. In an example, the Model Owner would be the head of a department or workgroup and the Model Responsible would be a member of that department or workgroup.
Model Responsible
The Model Responsible is responsible for the implementation (modeling) and the content of a model.
Workflow Responsible
The Workflow Responsible is responsible for the model execution and therefore receives all user failed tasks and all activity failed tasks where no User In charge is set. The Workflow Responsible usually is a person from the IT department.
They can all be changed individually either in the model Meta-Information section of the property panel:
or in the model Settings:
They all are also visible during an execution in the client as well as in the Process Portal, or in any model view:
