Initial user selection

[Former Community Member]

Hi,

To assigning tasks using an XPath expression, what value should be included? I tried with process variable that contain user ID like 'apink', not working. The document specify using the (GUID) global unique identifier of a user profile or group profile or user login. How to get the GUID?



Thank you.

You could query the refprincipalid of the edcprincipaluserentity table in the database. Something like



select refprincipalid from edcprincipaluserentity where uidstring = 'apink'

Thanks Jasmine, Is there any other way? Is there any service component or API call available?

We have a component called LookupUser which does this, and much more.

We also have LookupGroup.

You can download a free copy for development/test use at:
