Workflow that gives initiator delete access rights

asked on October 23, 2018

Hi there :)

I have set the permissions for SJANGLIM (me) (attached) in Laserfiche as username Admin.

I have a workflow (attached) that just has the del allow checked for the Initiator.  

When I log in as SJANGLIM not Admin I am getting an Access Denied on a file I dragged into the _Contract Dropbox which triggers a different workflow. 

Thanks,

Sue

Hi Sue, 

 

I would be looking at the way the workflow is set, it looks like the conditions have not been set in this instance as the "Delete" options on your user have not been checked. Which would mean you have no permissions to do what you require. 

 

Confirm the conditions on the starting rule to make sure it is kicking off as well when needed. If you believe they have run, do a search within the workflow and find when it was run last and if it was successful as well?

 

 

 

Hope that helps, 

With thanks, 

Ziad

Thank you Ziad for responding :)

>>Confirm the conditions on the starting rule to make sure it is kicking off as well when needed. If you believe they have run, do a search within the workflow and find when it was run last and if it was successful as well?<< Thank you :) It was not firing. 

I had another workflow that was firing.  So I added the Assign Rights to the workflow that was already being used and it IS triggering.  I am still unable to delete :(

What are the effective rights on this document? Was SJANGLIM assigned the Delete feature right?

Hi Miruna :)  

Attached. 

I will be doing this for a group.  Based on this: https://answers.laserfiche.com/questions/80470/Folder-Rights

I thought if you remove the Delete access I could add back with the assign rights to the initiator/owner.  Is the initiator the owner? :)  Maybe I shouldn't assume that.

 

Thanks!

Is there anything else I can look at?  If I add Delete to the group then all have access to delete all docs, owner or not...
