User Can't see "Resubmit" Button in Workflow

Hi all

After rejecting a workflow it is being returned to the submitting user. The user should then have buttons in his WF ActionBar (the yellow one), allowing him to choose an option between "Resubmit" , "Recall" , "View History". But the user doesn't see the "Resubmit" and "Recall" buttons, while if he has Admin privileges he can. So I must be missing some privilege here, but where can I locate what privilege is missing ? The WF ActionBar is not a Form, it's not a Part, and trying to find it in the AOT brought up nothing. When I right click on it > Personalize, the system provides generic info:

31364.Untitled.png How then will I give permissions to these buttons?

thanks a lot, really any help would be much appreciated! :)

Thanks @Randy33, the same issue and resolution in D365. (Found your post after finding out myself, only, though.)

I ran into the same issue yesterday. To show the "resume" button for non-admin users...grant display menu item "WorkflowInstancesEntryPoint".

Resume button now shows for non-admin users.

PS. For more info...see class methods:

WorkflowStatusForm->setControlVisible().

WorkflowStatusForm->onActive().

Hi Waller,

To find you related security role/duty/privilege go in AOT - Menu Items - Action and search for WorkflowStatusResume or WorkflowStatusCancel ... Right click it - add-ins - security tools - view related security roles. From there you should be able to find duty or privilege you want to add to your end-user role instead of giving Admin rights.

Regards,

V

Hi.

You can navigate in the AOT to the Workflow node, then to the Approvals (or Tasks node),

- select the approval in question, -

- right click, click properties.

- THe resubmit menuitem is defined there

The recall button is global "WorkflowStatusCancel" but is partly controlled by code as well. I.E. Only assignee, owner, or admin can access it.
