How to set the rights for instantiating workflow?

I'm having trouble instantiating workflow models in Teamsite 6.7.2.

Something appears to be screwy with the rights. Only TeamSite Master's are allowed to see/use them. Of course you don't want to make everyone a master.

The manuals say for users just need to have the role WorkflowUser, which is added by default to iwEveryone. However, this wasn't the case anymore. So I change this back by adding the role to iwEveryone in the iwadmin - workflowModels branch. The effect of this was a total and utter lack of change.

I tried giving the WorkflowUser to an user, the workflowModel branch and in the site branch. I even created a new role with all the rights available and adding that to an user in both branches. Alas, to no effect.

Does anybody know how to solve this mystery?

Have you looked at the available_models.xml to verify that the configured permissions for the WFMs are set for others to use them?

The available models file looks like this:


<available_models xmlns="http://www.interwoven.com/modeler/schema/subscription10">
  <model debug="true" active="true" filename="testModel" name="test model">
 <allowed>
   <and>
  <role name="test"/>
   </and>
 </allowed>
  </model>
</available_models>

Or with <vpath-regex regex="^(//[^/]+)?/default/main.*"/> in the <and> node.

Both of those should work fine, right?

Not with role="test" unless you have created a role called test and everyone is in that role.

Wolfwood

I created that role, give it all the rights and added it to the user(s) I'm testing this with.

nipper

what happens if you remove the role restriction ? And turn debug off

Wolfwood

When I substitute the role for the vpath-regex or combine them, there is no difference. (Nor with removing the entire node)

Setting debug to false doesn't make a difference either.

Try looking through all the recently modified log files (in IWHOME/local/logs and IWHOME/local/logs/iwui) after failing to be able to instantiate the workflow - perhaps you'll find some [semi-]useful information there...

Servletd_out.log displays the following errors after the submit button as been pressed:

2011-04-26 10:01:55,718 ERROR com.interwoven.modeler.subscription.AvailableModelsXml - com.interwoven.cssdk.filesys.CSIOException
2011-04-26 10:01:55,812 ERROR com.interwoven.modeler.subscription.AvailableModelsXml - com.interwoven.cssdk.filesys.CSIOException
2011-04-26 10:01:55,812 ERROR com.interwoven.modeler.subscription.AvailableModelsXml - com.interwoven.cssdk.filesys.CSIOException

The error doesn't happen if the user is a site master.

This doesn't help me much as I have no idea what a CSIOException is or what to do about it. (Client-Server IO Exception?)

What have you tried in terms of debugging and analysis?
The error message is pretty clear about the problem - you have to figure out why the problem is occurring - or at least make a significant attempt at doing so.
