User Can't see "Resubmit" Button in Workflow

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Waller Walker 345

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.pngHow 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.

Under review
