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.
