The popular webinar series CTO Tuesdays is back! Please join Active Endpoints CTO, Michael Rowley, on Tuesday, January 18 at 12pm ET / 17:00 UTC. The topic is authorizing access to business processes. Register: www.activevos.com/ctot.

Michael will be exploring the important aspect of business processes authorization and who is allowed to start them. Not everyone is allowed to initiate every kind of process, and it is not just a matter of presentation. If you aren't allowed to start a process, there should be no way of going around the UI in order to kick it off anyway. Proper authorization should be guaranteed at runtime. Michael will discuss different strategies for process authorization. He will describe standard authorization features that support simple authorization tests as well as architectural patterns that can be used to support more complex authorization scenarios.

Technologies discussed on CTO Tuesdays cover a wide variety of BPM technologies, including BPMN 2.0, SOA, web services, process modeling tools, BPEL, execution engines, AJAX-based forms development and human task integration.
