Activiti: How to save the user who has suspended an Activiti process instance on Activiti DB

Question

I am working with Activiti API and, in my project, I have a panel which allows the users to suspend a process instance. In order to make this suspension, I am following the steps listed here, however I would like to save somehow the logged user who has suspended the process, is it possible?

I have already a String with the user in my code, but I don't know how could I save it on Activiti data base as the user who has suspended the process instance.

Thanks in advance!

In the UI you are using to call "suspend", you should call the API to create a process variable with the userId THEN call suspend.

The API to create a process variable is here: http://www.activiti.org/userguide/#_create_or_update_variables_on_a_process_instance
