Before you begin

Role required: flow_designer, action_designer, or admin

Content filtering requires some familiarity with user roles and Workflow Studio tables and records.

Role required: flow_designer, action_designer, or admin

About this task

Filter Workflow Studio flow content based on user role. Filtering content requires you to set up:

  1. Content definitions to describe the content that you want to filter. Content definitions specify types of Workflow Studio flow resources, such as actions and subflows.
  2. Content filtering rules to state the role a user must have to access the resource in a particular definition.

Workflow Studio includes several content definitions and filtering rules by default. Get started with content filtering by modifying the pre-existing definitions and rules or creating your own.

Procedure

  1. To modify or create a content filtering rule, navigate to Process Automation > Flow Administration > Content Filtering Rules.

  2. Select the rule that you want to modify or click New to create one.

  3. On the form, fill in the fields.
