Workflow definition access rights

Workflow definitions are versionable documents with the same security as regular documents. A user must have View Properties access rights to launch or to participate in a workflow.

Acquisition
A workflow definition acquires its initial security from the Default Instance Security ACL of the Workflow Definition class. Subsequent updates to this class have no effect on the security of existing workflow definitions. A workflow definition is otherwise like any other document with regard to security.
Inheritance
A workflow definition can inherit security from a folder security parent that contains the workflow definition, and can also obtain security from a security policy.
Workflow attachments
A document can be attached to a workflow. The workflow cannot alter the document's access rights in any way.
