There are 3 participants in the workflow. They can approve/reject the task of the current item. I want every participant to be able to approve/reject only their own tasks, not other participants.

For example: When Ece approve the task, the task assign to Joe. But Ece sees the task assigned to him and can approve/reject Joe's task. I don't want it. I want Ece not to be able to approve/reject other tasks. How can I make it happen? Thank you.

  • Administration > System Settings > Managed Services on Server. I stopped the Distributed Cache then started again. Then did the same thing from the server by going to Administrative Tools > AppFabric Caching Service -- I stopped and restarted that one

  • Ok now it works. But when one participant reject it, workflow doesn't finish, it continues to assign task to next participates.

  • Change the default Approval workflow action in the SP Designer. if item is approved is equal to no then you add stop workflow action.

This is only applies to 2010 workflow types. If you have a SharePoint 2013 type WF this setting is completely missing!
