Issue: This Website does not support
workflows created by SharePoint Designer.
One of my
clients today came up with unique issue that he is not able to create any
workflow in the designer.
Troubleshooting:
1. Based on the error message, I have
checked the permissions of the clients; he has Full control permissions on the
site.
2. The website was allowed to use the
Designer
3. Check the permissions on the library
where he was trying to create workflow. Correct permissions were in place for
the workflow history library as well.
4. Both of these libraries inheriting
permissions from the site. No question of permissions issue on the site level.
5. Tried to disable contributor access
in the designer.
6. Tried to change the proxy via
designer.
7. Workaround to the problem was adding
him as a site collection admin. However, this was not a permanent solution to
the problem.
Little hard
goggling help to resolve the issue.
Resolution:
Exit and
then start Office SharePoint Designer 2007.
The site
owner should verify that the affected user has been added to the list of users
who have permissions to the Workflows library. If not, add the user to the
list:
1. In Office SharePoint Designer 2007,
in the Folder List, right-click the Workflows library, and then click
Properties.
2. Click the Security tab.
3. Click Manage permissions using the
browser.
4. In the browser, on the Permissions:
Workflows page, click New, and then click Add Users.
5. Add the user to the list.
