Workflow Actions Keep Disappearing
On occasion, when a user selects an action on a work item, they get a "Permission Denied" error. When I check the permissions for that action (Permissions->Trigger a Workflow), the action is not listed. If i then go look at the workflow, the action is missing from there too. (The action is available on the work item State dropdown).
After a while, (for an unknown reason), the action reappears and everything seems to work fine (for a day or two).
Any suggestion on what might be causing this? (Not sure if it's related, but we're getting a log of "undefined" errors in the web app too.)
One answer
I wonder if your work items are synchronized .... you mentioned that this problem creeps up every few days. Are the users using different work items? If so, then perhaps the newer work items are using a new process, while the older ones are not.
- In your eclipse client, open up your project area and go to Process Configuration
- Navigate to project Configuration -> Configuration data -> work items -> Types and Attributes
- Select "check workflow usage in repository'
