APAR status

Error description

  Business Process Manager (BPM) security group (tw_admins) can

  edit the task data that is defined for that task.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• Process Inspector calls a REST API to determine the permissions
  that are granted to a user. If the call is performed on behalf
  of a member of the IBM BPM security group, the response to this
  call does not include permissions to view and edit task data.
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix is available for IBM BPM 8.0.1.2 that makes sure that IBM
  BPM security group members are granted permissions to view and
  edit the data that is associated with a task.
