The expectation is that the Rule to trigger based on user Attribute

In this example the attribute is Job Classification
For example:
if Job classification = HR Professional (50029122)
Then
Raise workflow that has only 1 level approval (createPosition1L)
else
Raise workflow that has 2 level approval (in lieu we are raising a message to indicate that the user is NOT in JobClassCheck  i.e. not an HR Professional (50029122) )

The below is a scenario where by the qualify attribute is Job Classification.

Please Proceed as follows:

 

1- Create your Workflows

 

2- Create a group(s) for your qualifying Attribute

 

3- Create a Business Rules to define the process

 

4- Trigger Workflow Request

5- Check Outcome

a- If user is in qualifying group for 1st workflow a workflow is raise accordingly

 and as you can verify below the initiator is indeed in qualifying group

 

b- If user is NOT in qualifying group a different workflow will trigger or like in this example a message is raised
