Workflow RoleCondition question
Can someone explain to me why the workflow.xml document specifies roles
that can do certain workflow actions? I'm asking because, isn't that the
role of the usecase-policies.xml document? usecase-policies.xml let
sitemanagers do everything and is based off of group. workflow.xml only
allows one role to do the action, and well is based off of roles.
I find having two locations for this to be confusing. Even more so since
the two don't sync in the default publication. Am I missing something?

good idea. i don't have a really brilliant solution atm, but it would be
great to get rid of workflow transition policies altogether and somehow
translate them into usecase invocations. i'll take a walk over it... :)

I see your point, since we have usecase policies the workflow role
conditions might have become somewhat obsolete.

Actually both use roles. But a major difference is that the workflow
schema is assigned to resource types, and the usecase policies apply to
all documents regardless of their resource type.
I also have wondered if it might make sense to reconsider these concepts
and maybe find a more general solution.
What do the others think?
