Hi, I'm looking for a way, if it is possible at all in Bonita 7.10, to choose a path on a gateway based on the role in my organization of the initiator of the process.

Example:

- Initiator is a Sales Assistant i need to follow path A

- Initiator is Sales Manager i need to follow path B

&nbsp;

Thanks

hello,&nbsp;

On the branch of the gateway, i imagine you can use a condition expression close to this one:

&nbsp;

> ```
> import org.bonitasoft.engine.identity.User
> import org.bonitasoft.engine.identity.UserSearchDescriptor
> import org.bonitasoft.engine.search.SearchOptionsBuilder
> 
> User Initiator = BonitaUsers.getProcessInstanceInitiator(apiAccessor,processInstanceId);
> 
> Long roleId = apiAccessor.getIdentityAPI().getRoleByName(“Sales Assistant”).getId();
> 
> final SearchOptionsBuilder builder = new SearchOptionsBuilder(0, 1);  
> builder.filter(UserSearchDescriptor.ROLE\_ID, roleId);  
> builder.filter(UserSearchDescriptor.USER\_NAME, Initiator.getUserName());
> 
> return apiAccessor.getIdentityAPI().searchUsers(builder.done()).getCount() == 1 ;
> ```

Need to be careful, if the user has both role, you will need a default path.

&nbsp;

hope this helps,

Julien.
