How to use company module and departments module in Activiti?

Question

I've been searching for a long time on the web. Please help or give any ideas about how to achieve this:

• Activiti only provides group and user, how to inherit the company and departments module of the existing system to Activiti?
• All organizational structure：Company->Department->User, and each user has a role.

If your company has an LDAP directory server such as Active Directory then the easiest thing to do is integrate into that using the out of box LDAP module. If you dont have a directory server and you have more than 50 users, then you need to consider one. If you still want to use the internal groups then you can create department group (e.g. c1_sales, c1_engineering) and assign users to these groups. You can also create company groups (e.g. c1) and assign the department groups to the company groups. Not ideal but shoudl give you what you need.
