Enabling read access to items in worklow and their status

To enable collaborative workflow, configure Content Manager to grant read access to content items that are in workflow, as well as the workflow status of those content items, wherever read access to other content items is already granted.

Procedure

  1. Access your Content Manager server.
  2. In the %TRIDION_HOME% folder, open Tridion.ContentManager.config for editing.
  3. Find the tridion.contentmanager.security section.
  4. Ensure that the tridion.contentmanager.security element has an attribute called allowReadDynamicContent set to the value true.
  5. Save and close Tridion.ContentManager.config.
  6. Restart all SDL Tridion Sites Windows services associated with the Content Manager server.
  7. Restart IIS.
