X++ Exception: The workflow system could not access the business document data. Report this issue to your system administrator.

I would  really appreciate your assistance on a very urgent matter which should be a common problem. I have tried looking at several articles in the Dynamics Community relating to my issue however could not find the answer that works for me. Let me explain:

I have created a custom workflow type along with all the files that go along with it including the Event handlers, Workflow tasks, Menu Items, Query. All are related to the HCMRecruitingRequest table. I have ran this workflow within the VHD Dev Environment and if the user that the workflow item is assigning a task to has System Admin privileges then it works otherwise it throws this error 

X++ Exception: The workflow system could not access the business document data. Report this issue to your system administrator.

However if I assign Sys Admin role it works which is fine however when I deploy this package to the Demo environment no matter what permissions the user has even SysAdmin it still throws the insufficient permissions error:

X++ Exception: The workflow system could not access the business document data. Report this issue to your system administrator

I would really appreciate if you could answer 2 questions for me:

1. Why when deployed to Demo does it not work even for System Admin role?

2. How do I find out the exact permissions required to assign a workflow task to a user without giving sysadmin role.

I am a beginner Dynamics Developer so please provide as much detail as possible. 

Thanks

    Hi Snehalb247,

    Have you ever debugged with data from a Demo environment?

    Hi Komi, 

    Unfortunately not, I did not get much responses from anyone. We have decided to take a different approach which was unfortunate.
