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.
