Mapping custom tables with Camunda tables

Hello,

Quick question, can we do a mapping of Camunda tables with our own tables ? For example, can I have a Many-To-Many relationship between the user table of Camunda and another table I created ? If it’s possible, how can I do it ?

Thank you.

Why exactly are you trying to do that?
When you say “map” can you explain in detail what you’d like to see happen?

I meant, for example, if I have an entity in my Spring Boot app and I want it to have a collection of users within it, and I want these users to be the same users that I have in my act_id_user table, how can I link between the two tables ?

I would suggest that you don’t use camunda’s own user table.
A better idea would be to use an external authorization system like LDAP. Then you can keep and main users in one place that can access lots of different applications.
Take a look here in the docs for more info:
