Hi! I use version 3.0 beta. Can I disable feature "Stop workflow" for users? For example I have folder "Task folders". Then I make task an assign people to it. On every "Task folder" there is a default workflow "Task workflow". User that assign to some Task, can enter folder "Tasks" and enable "Stop workflow" and in this moment user loses permission and see "access denied".This is feature or bug? Can I disable this option "Stop worflow" for users??

 

7.09.10 - I check my configuration and everything was like you said, but I the user have ability to stop Workflow. Here is 2 screenshots.

Somehow your task folder got mis-configured. To fix this, go to the task folder where this problem occurs, select the "Configure" option in the "Folder" menu. Then make sure that the task workflow is not selected in the "Allowed Workflows" section. When it is set here, then the "start workflow" and "stop workflow" options appear. Instead, the task workflow should be "Associated" with the task entry. This will cause the workflow to be automatically started whenever a task entry is created. If the workflow is automatically started like this, then you won't be able to stop it (unless it is also in the "allowed workflows" section).

This is described in the documentation, in the section, "Enabling Workflows".

I have made a change in the next beta kit that will disable the ability to stop a workflow that was started automatically.
