I am facing a stranger issue with custom permission level in MOSS 2007. I created a custom permission level with the following access:

  • Add Items
  • View Items
  • View Application Pages
  • Open Items
  • View Versions
  • Create Alerts
  • View Pages
  • Open

I have a custom workflow which sends mail when the requester creates a new item. But with these permissions, the mail is not triggering. I do not want to allow users to Edit / delete items. Any additional permission I need to add to existing level.

If this is an SPD workflow, then you're hitting the declarative security context issue. The workflow can't perform an action that the user can't do.

If it's a custom workflows (visual studio, then elevate the permissions in code).

  • I tried the scenario in my dev machine and it works fine with Read Only access also added. But same settings in PROD gives issue.

  • Try running WireShark on the prod server if it is possible. If the issue is clearly not permissions then there must be something else that is different. I would bet that your dev machine is using a different mail server as the relay and perhaps the declarative WF is trying to auth as the account running owstimer or something like that.
