Hi Manohar,

I think you cannot test workflows with only one user / user group, you need two:

- one that creats the content, must not have publish permission, otherwise they can skip the workflow
- one that approves the content, must have publish permission, otherwise they cannot approve the content

Hi Dejan,

I did create 3 different user groups (WebEditior, WebReviewer, WebAdmins) for testing this workflow. The way i want to test is, WebEditor will crate the content and WebReviewer will review & publish the content.

So , I log-in as one of the users from WebEditor group and create a page and try to start the workflow manually. 

The problem is, if the WebEditor group has Publish permissions then only i am able to start the workflow. If the WebEditor group is not given the Publish permissions, i get "User WebEditors, has not read or publish access for <<my page name>> " message and workflow is not started.

I want to know if this is the expected behaviour or a known bug/issue.

Thanks,

Manohar.

If I remember correctly

- First you need to enable workflows in web.config (which you did)
- Create two user groups from admin mode (editors w/o publish permission, and reviewers w/ publish permission)
- Configure workflows in admin mode (set automatic start, who can approve the content, etc.)
- Log in to edit mode as an editor (the one w/o publish permission). When you try to publish the content, you'll see a button called 'Ready to Publish'. Click on it and it should trigger the workflow
- Log in to edit mode as a reviewer (the one w/ publish permission). Click on Tasks, select 'Ready to Publish' from the dropdown list, then select the page you want to approve / reject. When you click on the Publish dropdown, you'll get two options: 'Approve and Publish' and 'Reject Changes'.
