How to terminate workflow as a non admin.

Hi, 

We have a three step workflow  like this-

  1. Author : Author the content
  2. Reviewer : Reviews the content
  3. Publisher: Publishes the content 

There are some cases like Author starts a workflow and he left for the day or on vacation. Reviewer is also not available for some reason. The another author can not edit this page since this is on workflow. Can we assign some kind of permissions to Publisher who can view all available workflows in current state and terminate the desired one. Though our publisher has all following rights (Attached as file) . Right now if publisher goes to workflow view he sees no running workflow-

 

Right now we have to request to Administrator for the same. That we want to avoid.

A non-admin account would need required workflow permissions. See:

Is there an equivalent to this in AEM 6.1?  It seems that "wf-admin" no longer exists.  I've also tried assigning read/modify/create/delete to /etc/workflow/instances/ for a group yet, the Instances tab in the workflow console is blank. (http://server:4502/libs/cq/workflow/content/console.html)

 

Am I missing something?

For anyone interested, here is an option: http://www.digitalatolson.com/blog/technology/configuring-aem-workflow-supervisors

In Step 6, for AEM 6.1, look for the Adobe Granite Workflow Service to configure.

This gives the user "superuser" access though.  Not only can they terminate workflows, they can also complete any/all workitems in the inbox with this access.
