Please ensure that that the user has sufficient permission to initiate or take action on workflow.

Also check if you have group present in the instance (some times workflows are copied from other instance/location  and to the destination instance group is not present).

Does this happen when logged in as Admin?

Yes @smacdonald2008 ! we are able to resolve this. In our case, we didn't install the pertaining ACL's in the workflow causing this error. After importing principles and ACL's. There is no issue now. Thanks @kautuksahni and @smacdonald2008

This can happen when you have a participant step and the account selected does not exist. Hence the "null" part in the message.
