Workflow created in SharePoint Designer doesn't work ...

Hi,

I created a custom workflow using SharePoint designer. It is okay when the system admin (the one who created the workflow in sharepoint designer) submits an InfoPath form to the library and then the workflow has been started.

However, when a normal user (even with Full Control Permission) submits the InfoPath form to the library and the workflow cannot be started.

Any additional security setup has to be configured when workflow is created in SharePoint Designer

Thanks so much.

Paul

    I tried my workflow and got "access denied" error. But when I still use this group and still haven't change the group to be "Anyone can see members", and tried the "Approval" workflow which is installed in the Sharepoint 2007. The whole process completed successfully.

    I have exactly same problem :( Gotta be content approval thing...

  • John Boggess

    I think I found it under People and Groups. I added a new group and added the user that I use in my workflow. I changed the option you mentioned but it still didn't work. That option seems strange anyway....what does that have to do with the workflows Are you sure there wasn't something else you changed that maybe you aren't remembering

    Your help is appreciated! Thanks!

    Actually it works for other users as soon as you add them into Site Collection Admins :( I am not sure if the bug (if it's a bug) is related to SP Designer or to WSS/MOSS.

    If you are using SP groups in your workflow (for notifications, creating todo's and etc) make sure that the user who initiates workflow (by posting new form/document) is able to see members of the group. I guess the issue is that instead of initiating workflow with elevated credentials, SP for some reason starts workflow with credentials of current user.

    Can you be more specific to where you changed these settings I've just loaded sharepoint 2007 recently therefore I'm still learning. I've been messing with this workflow thing all day. As an admin it would work but then I added test users and now it won't run. I added the person as an admin and then it worked!

    Thanks so much!

    I've fixed my issue. I've added Log to action into workflow to debug and see where it fails. Basically, in sharepoint groups that I was using to send emails and assign to do's, I had option enabled "Allow members of the group see other memebrs.."something like that. As soon as I change it to "Anyone can see members" my workflow start working as expected.
