How to set permissions in GVH for a button executing WF5

How do I in GVH set permission so that only certain users can run the workflow 5?

I have set up a button which calls the WF5 via RunWorkflowByUrl command, but I don't think you one can set permissions against a button.

I have also tried and created a WF4 and added an action to call the WF5 via WebRequest, but when I run it I get "The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized.", so I am unsure how to pass the credentials I used to login to GVH to the WF4 WebRequest call.

 

Thanks

Marco

  Hi Marco,

   

  Permissions for running a workflow are based on how the item is shared within your organization. The most straightforward method is to create a group of users who you wish to grant access to that workflow, then share it with that group only.

   

  For more information on this process, take a look at this section in our docs: https://docs.geocortex.com/workflow/latest/help/Default.htm#wf5/help/sharing.htm#Share_Workflows%3FTocPath%3DShare%2520Workflows%7C_____0

   

  Thanks, Stefan

  Hi Stefan, thanks for the reply, but the doco does not cover what I am after. I have successfully created a button to call RunWorkflowByUrl which executes the WF5. What I cannot figure out is how to restrict that button visibility to only certain users. How can I use permissions in GVH to restrict the button which executes the WF5 to certain users?

   

  Regards

  Hello Marco,

   

  That functionality is currently not available but if you could please add it to the Ideas section, that would be appreciated.

   

  Thanks, Stefan

  Morning,

  I have solved this by creating a Geocortex Essential Workflow using the RunExternalCommand activity, setting the Command Name to "RunWorkflowByUrl" and passing the URL to the WF5 json as the Command Parameter. Now I have the ability to control permissions for access to the workflow
