Workflow error - Insufficient rights

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 295

Hello All,

I created a workflow l but keep getting an error message in my wokrflow history.

Stopped (error): X++ Exception: Work item could not be created. Insufficient rights for user john.

at SysWorkflowWorkItem-create

SysWorkflowWorkItem-createWorkItems

SysWorkflow-save

SysWorkflowQueue-resume

That workflow is only working if the user john has "System Admin" rights.

What permission is missing here?  I would appreciate any help.

    You need to give privileges related to that workflow..what workflow are you trying to run here?

    We assign the user all security roles except system admin and it still does not work.

    The workflow is accounts payable workflow for vendor invoice.  Thank you!

    Add the above two highlighted privileges to the role and it should work. Good Luck!

    Kaushik, thanks for your suggestion. I tried and it failed again. Here is what I did.

    I recreate user permission:

    Add AX pre-defined roles: Buying agent, Purchasing agent/manager, employee, system user

    Add a new role which have the following privileges(the first two are what you suggested)

    :

    Again, thanks for your help.

    Hi,

    In stead of the privilege 'Approve vendor invoice task' you need to add the duty VendInvoiceVendorInvoiceApprove ("Approve vendor invoices") within your role.

    Check the license type of the role after adding this duty. The type might have been raised.

    @Muhammed : If you are facing permission issue then I suggest you to make sure that you have permissions to all objects which is linked with Workflow types and workflow approval.
