Jesse	Date: 9/26/2006 10:04 pm · Subject: Workflow Activities have user session information Currently the session information available to a workflow is not the USER session information (its the workflow session information, which is next to useless as far as I can see, but I may be wrong). I'd like for the user session information to be available to the workflow. Then I can get information about where the user is currently on our website (url), and other session information inside the workflow. Why? I want to be able to write a workflow activity that adds users to different groups on signup based on where they signed up. As we have multiple sections of our website where signup is allowed and different groups for each section. To do this I need (according to JT) user session information, which the workflow currently doesn't have - hence my RFE for it! :) - Join us on the #webgui irc channel on freenode!
