Error description

• There is no API for creating IBM Business Process Manager (BPM)
  internal groups programmatically.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• You can create IBM BPM internal groups only by using the Process
  Admin Console. You cannot create IBM BPM internal groups
  programmatically by using existing APIs. A corresponding method
  is needed at the JavaScript API to enable programmatic access.
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix is available for IBM BPM V8.5.0.1 that provides a new
  JavaScript API method that you can use to create an internal
  group in IBM BPM.
  
  Using the method follows this syntax:
  
  TWRole createRole(String roleName, String roleDisplayName,
  String roleDescription, boolean checkAuthorization), where
  
  - roleName: name of the role to create, cannot be null
  - roleDisplayName: display name to be used for the role, if null
   roleName is added as display name
  - roleDescription: description to be used for the role, can be
   null
  - checkAuthorization:
   -- if true, authorization is enforced: only administrative
     users (members of the BpmAdminsSecurityGroup) are allowed to
     create the role
   -- if false, no authorization check is performed
  
  If role creation is successful, a scriptable object of type
  TWRole is returned.
  
  If role creation is not successful, for example, because a role
  with the same name already exists, null is returned.
  If a required authorization fails, an exception is thrown.
