I am using the custom authentication mechanism and setting the Authentication as below.

engine.getIdentityService().setAuthentication(username, groupNames, Arrays.asList(tenant));

Now when I am trying to complete a User Task then I get the below error. How to set Authorization here.

Hi @Himanshu_Singh
You can configure authorization with Authorization (Camunda Platform Javadocs 7.16.1-ee)

Hi @Himanshu_Singh,

in the end the process engine expects an authenticated user.

The api call is

engine.getIdentityService().setAuthentiatedUserId(userId);

Hope this helps, Ingo
