Activation for workflow packages fails

[puniths34934369]

Create a simple workflow with Activate Page/Asset Process: Step properties(Under WCM Workflow category).  Attached a screenshot

Task1:
Run it on anything under /content -> works fine

Task2:
Runs it on any zip under /etc/packages/my_packages -> it fails


Below is the exception:

I even tried with a fresh instance.

1) Created a package of /content/geometrixx
2) Created a workflowflow which has Activate Page/Asset Process: Step properties(Under WCM Workflow category). As attached in the above screenshot.
3) Ran the workflow on the package.
4) Got the exception, javax.jcr.PathNotFoundException:

We had the same issue.  I opened a ticket with Daycare and they provided a fix.  For anyone else who comes across this, the solution:

the device-identification-service user didn't have read access on the /etc/workflow/packages node.

I granted the access and the workflow runs successfully.

I've raised a bug with Engineering on this under NPR-18014.

I can't find device-identification-service user but I can find workflow-user and worflow-administrator

I am also facing this issue with aem 6.5. Could you share how you resolved it?
