Link Role to (organizational) function

[RonaldSchot]

In my BPMN process models I use lanes as Roles, e.g. Account manager, Quote approver. Ik would like to link Organizational functions to this roles.

F.i. the role account manager can be played by the function Sales person and by Sales manager.
 The role quote approver can be played by Sales manager and General Manager.

My question: how can Role and Function be linked?

I simply classify the pool/lane with the relevant actor.

You could also consider creating a library of Participants to represent both Roles and "Organisational Functions" (although all in your post feel like roles to me but that's a different conversation). Relate them as required. Set their type to "Role".

Add Participants to the partitionElementRef of your Lane (tip blank the Lane name and it will default to the Participants name).
