Symptoms
Process Rights - SharePoint Group not working
Diagnoses
I have developed a K2 workflow using visual studio 2010. I am starting this workflow using smart form.
I want that this workflow can be started by all the users within a SharePoint Group.
I added this sharepoint group under process right of the process that I have created and assigned start , View and server event roles.
But still the users within the groups are not able to start the workflow.
If I am adding the user directly in process rights then they are able to start the worlkflow.
Resolution
ISSUE:
Despite being added to a group which had Start privileges, users were unable to start a workflow.
RESOLUTION:
This was caused by the cache not yet being refreshed to reflect the new changes. The user was given the ForceIdentityServiceRefresh tool to force a manual refresh and the issue was resolved.
