Hi All,

 

Why do we need to grant the access for the projections used inside the workflow?

If we dont grant the access for any projection which is being used inside the workflow the user is getting error stating insufficient privileges 

 

Is there any workaround for this?

 

In my case i was using the employee file,person and the users screen so i switched to use the custom event attributes and delete the relevant tasks in the workflow and grant only the custom page access for the user

 

Although it worked and resolved my issue. I would like to know if its a limitation/drawback in the workflow or am i missing something ?

 

Any inputs on this would be highly appreciated 

 

Regards,

Rakesh

hi ​@RakeshChangeshpur , 

IFS Workflows run under the authority of the user who starts them. Because of that, anyone running a business process that triggers a Workflow needs the appropriate permissions to access every API used by that Workflow.

From 25r1, Workflow permissions can be assigned at the user permission set level. This allows you to give users the right to execute specific Workflows without granting direct access to every API involved. I think this could help you manage permissions more effectively in your case.

Hi all,

I was just about to ask the same. We are on 26R1, granted the workflow in full. Still getting errors. Anything else is missing please?

@Rajith what is the error you are getting? can you explain how the workflow is triggered and how the permission is assigned ?

Hi ​@kamnlk, Many thanks for having a look.

  1. Triggered from a custom event on INVENTORY_PART_IN_STOCK_TAB when receiving a Shop Order, Event action:
  2. Workflow fully granted to its own functional permission set which is granted to to an end user permission set that is granted to the end user.
  3. Error on page and debug

Not sure if it is a bug or functionality but if it is like this in a structure a level below, it does NOT work

 

 

Ff it is like this, direct grant via an end user role then it works. strange
