Plugins
Plugins extend B2Win Suite with additional workflow nodes and functionality. Each plugin packages one or more node types that become available in the Workflow Builder when the plugin is enabled.
Access
Navigate to System Settings → Plugins.
Plugin List
The plugin list shows all installed plugins with the following columns:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| # | Plugin ID |
| Description | What the plugin provides |
| Labels | Custom tags assigned to the plugin |
| Current Version | Installed version number |
| Status | Current runtime state (see Plugin Status) |
| System | Whether this is a built-in system plugin (cannot be deleted) |
| Created By / Modified By | Who installed or last updated the plugin |
| Enabled | Toggle to enable or disable the plugin |
Build Type Badges
Nodes from plugins that are not in a full release state are marked with a badge in the plugin list and in the Workflow Builder:
| Badge | Meaning |
|---|---|
| EXPERIMENTAL | Early-stage implementation; behavior may change significantly or be incomplete |
| BETA | Feature-complete but still being tested; suitable for non-critical workflows |
No badge is shown for Release-grade plugins.
Showing/Hiding Non-Release Nodes in the Builder
By default, Experimental and Beta nodes may be hidden from the Workflow Builder toolset to keep the canvas palette clean. Use the toggles at the top of the Plugins page to control their visibility:
- Experimental toggle — shows or hides experimental nodes in the Builder
- Beta toggle — shows or hides beta nodes in the Builder
Plugin Status
| Status | Description |
|---|---|
| STARTED | Plugin loaded and running; its nodes are available in the Workflow Builder |
| DISABLED | Plugin installed but not active; its nodes are hidden from the Builder |
| FAILED | Plugin encountered an error during loading; an error icon appears with details. Nodes from this plugin are unavailable until the issue is resolved. |
When a plugin shows a FAILED state, hover over the error icon to see the exception message. Common causes include missing dependencies, incompatible configurations, or class-loading errors. Use the Refresh button to reload plugins after addressing the issue.
Actions
Enable/Disable
Use the toggle switch in the Enabled column to enable or disable a plugin. Disabling a plugin hides its nodes from the Workflow Builder immediately. Existing workflows that use nodes from a disabled plugin will show those nodes as unavailable until the plugin is re-enabled.
Permissions
Click Permissions to configure which user groups can use this plugin and its service connections. Available permission types:
| Permission | Description |
|---|---|
| PLUGIN_READ | Can see and list the plugin and its nodes |
| PLUGIN_MOD | Can install, edit, and delete the plugin |
| PLUGIN_CHGPERM | Can change the plugin's permissions |
Each permission can be allowed or denied for specific user groups (Administrators, All Users, B2Win Suite - Managers, B2Win Suite - Developers, etc.). Check Inherit to inherit the setting from a parent group.
Settings
Click Settings to configure plugin-specific options.
Delete
Removes the plugin from the system. This action is not available for system plugins. Any workflow nodes that belong to a deleted plugin will stop functioning.
