Logon issues for Process Designer

As a workflow author, you need access to the Process Designer program, to the object store or library where you will store the workflow definitions, and to the files you assign to attachments.

Access to the Process Designer program

Your client interface determines the logon requirements.

  • For Workplace:

    If the PWDesigner group exists, you must log on as a member of that group in order to run Process Designer. (The PWDesigner group is created by default during the installation process.) Otherwise, if the PWDesigner group does not exist, any user who can log on can run Process Designer.

  • For FileNet Web Services Client or Open Client:

    If the PWDesigner group exists, you must log on as a member of that group or the SysAdminG group in order to run Process Designer. Otherwise, if the PWDesigner group does not exist, any user who can log on can run Process Designer.

Access to an object store or library to store workflow definitions and files to assign as attachments

  • In Workplace
    • Object store where you will store workflow definitions: To store your workflow definitions, you must have the ability to log on to the object store and Add to Folder rights to add the workflow definition to a particular folder. To check files in and out, you must have Modify Contents privilege for the particular file.
    • Object store that contains the files you assign to attachments: To assign a document or other file in an object store to an attachment, you must have View Content access to the document or file in the object store.

       

  • In FileNet Web Services Client and Open Client
    • Library where you will store workflow definitions: To store your workflow definitions, you must have Add privileges in the appropriate Content Services library.
    • Library that contains the files you assign to attachments: To assign a document or other file in a library to an attachment, you must have View access to the document or file in the library.
