You can authorize users or groups to run all automation workflows held in a certain container by applying the Automation Workflow - View and Run Access Template to that container. This enables the users or groups to run the automation workflow without giving them the right to make any changes to the workflow.

It is also possible to authorize users or groups to run a single automation workflow by applying the Access Template to the workflow definition object.

You can authorize users or groups to view run history of all automation workflows held in a certain container by applying the Automation Workflow - View Access Template to that container. This enables the users or groups to view run history of the automation workflow without giving them the right to modify or run the workflow.

In Active Roles, administrators can configure workflow activities of the pre-defined types that are installed with Active Roles. By default, the list of activities in the Workflow Designer contains only the pre-defined activity types, such as Approval Activity or Notification Activity. It is possible to extend the list by adding new types of activity.
Each activity type determines a certain workflow action (for example, originating an approval task or notification) together with a collection of activity parameters to configure the workflow action (for example, parameters that specify the approvers or notification recipients). Active Roles builds upon this concept, providing the ability to implement and deploy custom types of workflow activity. It enables custom activity types to be created as necessary, and listed in the Workflow Designer along with the pre-defined activity types, allowing administrators to configure workflow activities that perform custom actions determined by those new types of workflow activity.
Active Roles allows the creation of custom activities based on the Script Activity built-in activity type. However, creating and configuring a script activity from scratch can be time-consuming. Custom activity types provide a way to mitigate this overhead. Once a custom activity type is deployed that points to a particular script, administrators can easily configure and apply workflow activities of that type, having those activities perform the actions determined by the script. The activity script also defines the activity parameters specific to the activity type.
Custom activity types provide an extensible mechanism for deploying custom workflow activities. This capability is implemented by using the Policy Type object class. Policy Type objects can be created by using the Active Roles console, with each object representing a certain type of custom workflow activity.
The extensibility of workflow activity types is designed around two interactions: activity type deployment and activity type usage.
