Read-only Cockpit

[mgl...@gmail.com]

We would like to be able to create a read-only Cockpit. I can see how to remove the action panel but is there a way (using config) that I can remove the ability to change process variables, re-assign user tasks or suspend processes?

Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike,

As you have already noticed you are always able to exclude undesirable plugins in cockpit (see http://docs.camunda.org/latest/guides/user-guide/#cockpit-plugins-plugin-exclusion-client-side).

But you are not able to remove the ability to change process variables or re-assign user tasks (note: the action button to suspend/activate a process instance is also a plugin, so you are able to exclude this action button). Instead you are able to exclude for example the "Variables" tab in the process instance view and write your own "Variables" tab, which does not offer the ability to change a process variable, as a cockpit plugin. You can find some details how to write you own plugin here:

http://docs.camunda.org/latest/real-life/how-to/#cockpit-how-to-develop-a-cockpit-plugin

And you can find a list of available plugins points here:

Does it help you?

Cheers,

Roman
