Workflow permissions

I am getting some permission issues for content authors and approvers on workflow

when workflow is executed, it calls

url https://localhost:4502/bin/workflow/inbox

which is returning 500 error with following message

Unable to add OrMemory

Status 

500

Message 

Unable to add OrMemory

Location 

Parent Location 

Path 

Referer 

ChangeLog 

<pre></pre>

it works fine for admin users

for authors and approvers it is returning 500 error

I looked in adobe forum, there is a thread

Workflow exceptions

I do see approvers and content authors are part of workflow-administrators, they are also part of workflow-editors and workflow-users (as mentioned by edubey in forum)

In the forum I tried to look for Mar 2015 session for workflow, it is taking me to Adobe Experience Manager Help | Listing of Ask the AEM Community Experts

when I click on that session it is taking me to Adobe forums page

https://forums.adobe.com/welcome

it seems that link is broken or moved

In error.log I see

6.09.2017 12:27:17.442 *WARN* [10.43.32.47 [1504715237437] POST /bin/workflow/inbox HTTP/1.1] com.adobe.granite.workflow.core.jcr.WorkflowManager Cannot archive workitem: /etc/workflow/instances/server0/2017-08-28/content-migration-process_69/workItems/node4_etc_workflow_instances_server0_2017-08-28_cedars-sinai-migration-process_69

I got it resolved, approvers need to have replicate permissions. Otherwise it will throw version exception and take extra steps to complete workflow

Thanks for pointing out the March 2015 ATCE  - we will fix that.

edubey is correct - those users should be part of that group and it should work.

I am able to resolve workflow issue by adding read, write, modify, create permissions on /etc/workflow/instances for authors and approvers

and we have to add the same groups in OSGI Adobe Granite Workflow service

I can see workflow complete successfully but few errors reported in error.log

it is taking long time and extra process steps for approvers to complete the workflow

So it clearer - post a screen shot of the model.
