We have created some custom reporting functionality, which includes the ability to report upon which pages have been activated by which moderators. Example: This is from the magnolia demo site. I created an editor (testEditor), created a page (/demo-project/test) and activated it. /demo-project/test |

The workflow engine can't use given user credentials since it doesn't know users password so can't make valid login to the Public instance. Since superuser is a system account and is always present inside of Magnolia CMS itself, it's used this account to log in on behalf of the regular user. The workaround for that would be to write your own activation command that retrieves user credentials from a third party authentication system and use that to authenticate against Public instance and perform activation as given user. I can think of a couple of ways how to achieve your goal, on the other hand none is as simple as the Audit trail, if it's enough for your needs. |
