> #### 5.4.5 Assign Process Instance Ownership

> Process Instance owners can edit the process instances that they own while they are running. By default, the owner of a process instance is the owner of the process definition from which the process instance was created. However, process definition owners have the option of assigning process instance ownership. They can assign ownership of process instances to any Interstage BPM role or set of users by using the Process Owner pane of the Process Definition Properties dialog box (select the Properties button then the Process Owner tab). You can assign ownership in any one of the following ways:

> · To assign process ownership to a particular role, place that role in the Owner field.
> · To assign process ownership to a particular set of users, place a setProcessOwners script in the Owner Scripts field. For example, the following script makes twfuser and twfserver owners of any process instance created from the process definition being edited:
> setProcessOwners("twfuser,twfserver");
> For script writing instructions and examples, see Appendix A.
> · To assign process instance ownership to a particular set of users in a particular role, place the role in the Owner field and place a setProcessOwners script in the Owner Scripts field. The following illustration makes twfuser and twfserver owners of any process instance created from the process definition being edited but only if those users are in the Role role:
