Each workflow defines one or more specific stakeholder roles to act on the asset. The stakeholders that can participate in a workflow depend on the steps and the user roles that are defined in the workflow.
Before you configure workflows in Metadata Command Center, create human tasks and design processes in Application Integration.
You must assign additional privileges to existing stakeholder roles to work with workflow tickets. You can either modify existing stakeholder roles with additional privileges or create a separate stakeholder role and assign the role to existing users. For existing stakeholder roles, ensure that you assign additional privileges and features related to the Application Integration and Human Tasks services. The predefined Governance Administrator Stakeholder metadata access policy includes features and privileges that you need to configure and run Application Integration processes and Human Tasks services.
In addition to specific privileges, you need to have at least one access policy that grants you permission to configure and manage workflows.
You need specific privileges to perform different tasks related to configuring workflows. These privileges are related to and dependent on each other.
