If all users get removed from the WF permissions and rights page, is there any way to recover access without a re-install?
Please use SID of a domain account (e.g. SID of "Everyone" is 0x010100000000000100000000) to add row into database "trustee_security" table.
Can you provide any more context on what happened for them to be removed?
A re-install won't help as the permissions are stored in Workflow database.
My first thought would be to:
They were not removed from WF, rather the account(s) that were in there are gone after a domain change, they just cease to exist. I only have an account on the new domain now, so I would need some way to add my new domain account back in. Do I need to manually do this in the database?
It's possible that being a local Administrator on the Workflow server may allow you to add new permissions. Give that a try if you haven't and let me know if it works. We usually have some way like that to avoid you being entirely locked out.
It does not let me add using the WF Administration console. There are windows groups for DS and Audit Trail but I don't see one for WF.
Hi Chad,
Windows rights required for workflow security administration - Laserfiche Answers would work for this issue.
Just tried creating a local administrative user, adding a row for the account into the database, but it still says access denied.
Please use SID of a domain account (e.g. SID of "Everyone" is 0x010100000000000100000000) to add row into database "trustee_security" table.
That was what I needed and restored access. I will update the original post.
When you remove Everyone, it does not remove the database entry, it just sets the mask to 8. So you have to update the mask and not insert a new row.
USE [Laserfiche_Workflow]
GO
UPDATE [dbo].[trustee_security]
SET
[mask] = 2147483648
,[is_user] = 0
WHERE [sid] = 0x010100000000000100000000
GO
