Access permissions not working for workflows models

[shivashankarhr1]

Dear team,

For one of the AEM 6.5.16 environment with nosamplecontent, we have applied deny permissions to any of the workflow models  based on the instructions mentioned in the documentation https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/experience-manager-65/administering/operations/workflows-man.... After applying the deny configurations for OOTB workflow models (Ex: Request for activation) still these workflow models are displaying for the configured users. As this is happening only for one environment need help support with any steps to resolve the issue.

Thanks in advance!

Hello @shivashankarhr1,

Access to the workflow elements is connected with the "workflow-users" group. Make sure the users do not have this group assigned.

Thanks

Please visit the useradmin http://localhost:4503/useradmin

- Search for a user, where you feel permissions have an issue

- Go to the workflow node.

- Hover over the '*' on the checkboxes. It would tell us which permissions are effective, which are being ignored. Also, it will tell us the groups from where permissions are flowing.

I hope it helps !
