Why initiator can interact with Workflow when it is assigned to somebody else?

I am glad you got it solved - i sent you a follow up email. Thanks!

i see.. that was a silly mistake. Actually we migrated the workflow from AEM 6.0 to AEM 6.3 and seems like we had to do some authoring again to select the appropriate user/group. it looks fine after that.  But we have observed that the admin or user who is part of administrators group are getting all the notifications in the inbox. Seems ok but we did not notice this thing in 6.0 version. 

Thanks for the help here though.

Also - only user A has access from sidekick

Scott, i can share the zip file (package) of the workflow i created. Can you please let me know how can i share that? i doubt if i can attach it here. But to provide more details, i can mention the dialog values below:

Step 1: Add participant chooser step

Tab 1

Tab 2

- Step 2: Add OR Split

- Step 3: Add Process step in left hand side

Tab 1:

Tab 2:

Step 4: Add Initiator participant chooser step on right hand side of OR Split:

Tab 1:

I hope this helps. Thanks

OK - i did this -- i created a model similar to yours. Two user UserA and User B - both belong to workflow user group.

User A has the 1st step assigned to them. As User B - i kicked off the workflow.

User B inbox view here -- http://localhost:4502/inbox :

So no message that lets me interact with the workflow.

In User A - i see here -- http://localhost:4502/inbox :

Now i can see the Workflow properly assigned to User A - not User B.

So in your 1st step - make sure it clearly has User A --

I want to attempt to reduplicate your model and experience. Can you post back and tell me exactly which workflow steps you did and show the dialog boxes too so i can setup this model.

Hi Scott,

Yes, User K and User A both can see the notifications in their respective AEM inboxes and both can choose the next step.

But according to workflow only user K should be able to work on the workflow to choose the next step and not user A.

Does it show up in User K inbox?

Hi, please check the above workflow. First step is assigned to a user 'k' and the workflow is initiated by user 'a'.
