there should be no SPECIAL role for this.

Because, if you will explorer role named as "System User", you will find that any user who has access to "System User" can see workflow history (provided that he/she access to specific document) i.e. workflows where he/she is submitter or approver or participant in any way at any step of workflow. If user does not ahs access to document/record, he/she cannot see workflow history of that specific record (unless he/she is admin)

would you please like to describe details of your case

thanks Sohaib for your reply.

Actually i have one user (group operation manager), he is also the part in the workflow as approver, he want to see the both tab (Overview and the work item), i have already assign the purchase manager and system user role to it but those tab not visible.

Previously system admin role was assigned and now i remove it, so he want to see those tab.

Display menu item WorkflowStatusDetail is responsible for display/hiding of these tables, which is your focus.

There is EnumType parmeter on this menuitem (WorkflowStatusDetail) which makes decision of hiding and showing tab in Workflow history form.

This menu item is already part of SystemUser Role. Is that Role customer for you...??? I am asking about SystemUser Role

Alright, I have done some debugging and found below.

These Tabs (Overview and Work-Items), these are controlled via class method. These are controlled in setControlVisible (method) of WorkflowStatusForm (Class).

Overview Tab is made visible only for admin user with below line of code

overviewControl.visible(adminUser);

Work-Items Tab is made visible in 3 cases

If user is admin

If user has IT manger Role

If user contains                 WF privileges.

Below line of codes control its visibility

if (adminUser || isUserITManager || isUserContiansWFPrivilege)

   {

       workItemsControl.visible(true);

   }

   else

   {

       workItemsControl.visible(false);

   }

So, as a conclusion I would say it needs customization to enable these tabs for normal users

thanks Sohaib for your help and usual support.

As you said these are for the work-item tab is available for the admin,IT Manger and WF privileges users, so i create one role and attached all the workflow privileges to it and add the role to the user now it is coming fine. But for the overview tab i tried to add the user in the class by editing the WorkflowStatusForm class by adding line:

overviewControl.visible("user ID"User); after overviewControl.visible(adminUser); but it haven't work, can suggest me if i can fix this for one user only for "iulhaq".
