Custom Profiles
Bonita also allows you to create custom profiles if you need to grant visibility rights to a group of users for a Bonita application. This might be interesting to limit access to the "Internal Policy Update" application to users in the HR group, for example. It is represented as books here. This custom profile will allow you to create and update these users within your organization.
