OIM - Approval process

Question

Hi All
I have OIM integrated with application 1. Application 1 has many responsibilities which are to be maintained by OIM by 1 level approval process. This means the end user can log into OIM admin console and request for more responsibilities. I have a table for Resource object and another table for Responsibilities similar to AD Resource Object and its child table for AD groups.
Problem is that every responsibility has a separate owner and if a user raises a request for responsibilityX, it should go to the owner of the responsibility. How should I go about it..
Please help !!
Thanks

Thanks Kevin
This is really helpful. I guess this would probably work in case when the number of responsibilities and user groups are limited. But in my case I have almost 1500 responsibilities and having a user group corresponding to these responsibilties would not be an easy task.
I take your suggestion of creating a lookup for the mapping of responsibility and its corresponding owner. To move further, shall I go ahead and use API's to handle the object form and assign the task based on this lookup. Can you please suggest if this will be a good approach and provide some basic startup.
**** Another thing which I am not able to understand is - When I provision a user using direct provisioning, these reponsibilities are attached to the process form as child table. How should I go ahead with creating a object form for the responsibilities.
Currently, when an end user logs into admin console, he can only request for RO provisioning with no details or responsibilities. (No object form is attached to RO).
This is similar to Group assignment in Active Directory, but in that case I wrote a separate piece of code that was adding the user directly to the AD group.
Thanks
