Social Reach giving Access denied Error
Be sure that your user/group is granted access to the SocialFlow workflow (Admin - Workflows - SocialFlow (edit) - Security tab)

Hi Arild, Thanks for the reply
Unfortunately I don't see "Workflows" under Admin tab. I have logged in as Admin user. I am using EpiServer 7. Am I missing something?
Thank you

If your admin user belongs to the WebAdmins group, you should have access to Workflows in a default installation.
Are Workflows enabled in your web.config? Look for the sections described here: http://world.episerver.com/Documentation/Items/Developers-Guide/EPiServer-CMS/7/Workflows/Developing-Workflows/#Configuration
If workflows are indeed enabled, maybe the Workflow menu option is disabled:
- Go to Admin mode > Config tab > Plug-in Manager.
- Click EPiServer User Interface > Overview tab.
- Scroll down and make sure "Workflows (AdminMenu)" is checked.

Thank you again Arild. With your suggestions I am able to enable the Workflows menu and I see, the SocialFlow workflow. Now I am facing the next problem. I Went to Edit Workflow => Security tab=> Add User/Groups. I added a group and assigned some rights. Then I clicked Save button. Now the screen gets refreshed and the stayed back to General tab. The assigned rights are not saved. I tried several times but not able to save. What could be the problem?

You probably clicked the Save button on the bottom of the page, this will not save the new group rights correctly (bug perhaps).
There is another Save button directly below the "Add user/group" button, that will save your changes correctly.

Hi Anrid,
I have another problem, which was working earlier. In the social reach Settings, if I click "Edit account" for the twitter account, it opens a page and throws "Unauthorized exception" as below. Do you have any clue, what could be the problem? Thanks for your answers
Page could not be loaded
The link you specified does not work. This may either be the result of temporary maintenance or an incorrect link.

I believe it's because Social Reach used the old Twitter Api v1.0 which has been discontinued (see this thread).
Also EPiServer 7.1 and newer includes an updated Social Reach plugin. Try upgrading your site to 7.1 or reinstalling Social Reach from the Add-On Store to see if that helps.

We have installed Social Reach module to EpiServer 7. We have two user groups Administrators and Publishers. We created a facebook channel and given all permission to both the groups. When I login with Administrator and publish a message, it works fine. It publishes the message to facebook. But when I login with publisher and publish the message, it fails. It throws error "Failed starting workflow : Access denied". Can anyone please tell me where and which rights I need to give to the Publisher group?
