Workflows not visible to users

We are in a new 2013 SP farm. I migrated an old 2007 farm into this one a few weeks ago, and I am seeing an issue on one library (so far) that has approval workflows.
We were previously able to have users kick off approval workflows on a file with only contribute access. I understand that they need edit rights on the file/and folder in question to start the workflow. However, when I give them those rights,
the workflows are still not visible when they go to kick off the workflow. The only way it seems to work is if I give them contribute rights at the library level.
Any suggestions on how to fix?

Hi Melissa,
Please follow next steps:
1. Open SharePoint Designer.
2. Open your site.
3. Click on Workflows in lateral menu.
4. Search your workflow and click on it.
5. Check option "Allow this workflow to be manually started."
6. Uncheck option "Require manage lists permissions".
7. Test again.
Regards!

Some UI Elements not visible to Users

Hi Experts,
We are facing some weird issue in Web Dynpro applications on Enterprise Portal.
Some UI elements are not visible to users on screen for no apparent reason.
However to other users, same UI elements in same application are visible & rendered properly.
This is happening specially in case of Table Pop In.
I've tried many things like using different machine, clear browser Temp files etc... but nothing helped.
is it like that EP is not able to render some of the UI element properly ?
Please help.

Rohit,
did you try with a diff browser?
Thanks

Thanks!

no rows selectedThat means the sequence either doesn't exist, or the user that ran the query doesn't have access to the sequence. If you have an account with DBA access I'd try running the query against the DBA_TAB_PRIVS view.
You may also want to query the _SEQUENCES (ALL, USER, DBA) view to see if the sequence exists.

Task outcome button in Infopath not visible to users having contribute access

Hi,
I have followed the article to add an additional button:
http://thinketg.com/approve-or-reject-what-about-a-third-option-in-sharepoint-2010-approval-workflows/
The site was earlier in 2010, and now migrated to 2013. But the workflow is working fine.
The additional button in InfoPath is visible to users having full control, but not getting visible to users having contribute access.
Setting permission to full control in site is showing the button, but I cannot change the permission of users.
How to fix this?
Thanks

Enterprise keywords not visible to users in SP2013

Hello Friends,
Enterprise keywords are visible to me, but not visible to some of my colleagues, though they can see the list items clearly, but the under the column heading "Enterprise Keywords", it's all blank.
Any thoughts please....
Many thanks,
Prajwal

It can be permission issues.
1. Navigate to the list TaxonomyHiddenList, for eg- http://serverName/sites/Lists/TaxonomyHiddenList
2. Click on List Permissions in the ribbon interface
3. Grant Permissions for the specific users
It should be done now.

Worbooks not visible in User menu after Upgrade from BW 3.0 to BW 7

Hi,
We're currently processing the Upgrade of our BW system.
We meet a problem about the visibility of our existing workbooks in User menu of the new Bex Analyzer. The system is apparently successfully upgraded, we nevertheless have this issue. We know that we have to convert the workbooks, but before doing that, we would like to see them....
Can someone help us ? Is maybe it a authorization problem ?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Steph.

Can you still see them in the 'old' BEx?
If so: try to execute them there. If you get no error => no authorisation problem.
Also, in the new BEx you can try to find them via the find button.
Bear in mind that with the NW04s BEx you don't see the whole menu tree, but only one level at the time.
I should also mention that there are problems with displaying favorites stored in folders. Note 955979 solves that.

Having the tab to be not visible for users not authorized to access it

Hello,
I've set up an authorization scheme to certain tabs. However, users who are not allowed to access them still have the tabs visible to them. When they click on the tab, they are redirected to a page that contains the error message that they are not authorize to view the page. Is there a way of not making the tabs available at all to those who are not authorize to use it? thanks

Have you set the same authorization scheme to the tab as you set to the page which is started by the tab?
If so, you should not see the tab.
Fred.

Custom User Attributes not visible on user profile in OIM 11g

hi ,
As I have created a custom attribute in OIM11g. I am not able to view the attribute after I crate a User in OIM.
Please help me in solving my issue .
Thanks
srikanth

It's a very basic thing. Just try creating an Authorization Policy and you would know how to do it. For your refernce I am also pasting the excerpt from the same Metalink Article
After creating the UDF, please follow the below steps to make the UDF visible for modification by an admin user:
1. Navigate to create a new 'Authorization Policy'as below:
a. Login to UI and click on Administration
b. On the top left you will see the Authorization Policy tab
c. Now click on Create Authorization Policy
2. Please use the below information to create the Authorization Policy
a. Name: UDF policy
b. Entity Name: User Management
c. Permissionsc. Permissions:
i. Modify User Profile
ii. View User Profile
Please make sure that the UDF is selected in the attributes for these permissions.
d. Data Constraints: All Users
e. Policy assignment: All Users
3. Create a user called "useradmin' and add the below 2 roles:
a. All Users (This is default)
b. Identity User Administrators (This will provide the administrative tab to this user so that he can administer other users)
4. Create another end user called 'testuser1' populations the necessary fields.
5. Now login as 'useradmin'
6. Search for a user called 'testuser1' and open the user.

Home folder not visible in users folder

My home folder appears to have gone missing from the Users folder in finder. See screenshot - I can see the test account I created and the shared folder but not my home folder.
I can still access my home folder via the sidebar but this causes problems with some software not being able to see my home folder in their browsers (Nikon Capture NX2 being an example).
Anyone got any ideas?

Check the View Options in the Home folder to make sure the library is selected to be visible:
NOTE: In Lion, Mountain Lion and Mavericks the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
For Mavericks, 10.9, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:

OIM11gR2 DBAT User recon - custom UDF value not visible in User detail page

Hi,
I have configured DBAT connector for OIM11gR2 for user recon.
Have created and mapped few custom UDFs in the GTC.
User is created successfully in OIM, and has all the values correctly in USR table for all the custom UDFS.
But when i search a user in OIM, i can not see the value of custom UDF, even though it is in the database.
I have created and activated a sandbox and also added the custom UDF in the user details page using the Design option of ADF.
Is there something I am missing related to display of custom attribute and its value on the USer details page.
Kindly suggest.
Regards

Yes, your UDF should be available under Manage Users->UserVo1. It is working fine with our env. make sure you have the latest version of R2 release, because Beta release had an issue for same. You can create aonther UDF and and try gain.
verify same with below doc

Old confirmations are not visible after user ID is recreated

Hello All,
We had an user which was recreated and the old user ID was deleted. But the old userID had some open confirmations in it. We have changed the GUID of the old user with the new user GUID. So though we can view all shopping carts for the user in SC check status, we cant view the old open confirmations in confirmations link in web frontend.
Please advise if any specific steps needs to be taken to view the old confirmations.
Best regards,
Sambit Mishra

Hi. I do not think you will be able to transfer any old documents to the new user, however you might be able to get the new user assigned to the old data.
You could try and delete the assignment from position to BP for the new BP, then re-assign the old BP, then assign the new user.
I am not sure if it will work though.
There are several threads like this on SDN and I do not think I have seen 1 where anyone has managed to transfer the old documents.
Could you give the user central goods receipt BBPCF03? That way they will be able to see all confirmations for all users.
If you really want a permanent solution to this and the above does not work, you could create a custom authorisation object called "View own confirmations only" and put this in a role along with BBPCF03 access. Then you could use BADI BBP_WF_LIST to say that if the user has this auth object they are only allowed to see their own confirmations, so in transaction BBPCF03 make sure that the user ID that created the confirmation equals the user ID logged on. That means that in central receipt the user will only be able to see and process their own data, but it will be based on user ID, not BP or GUID.

Dave.

WebHelp ActiveX option not visible to users

Launching our WebHelp from the "Help" link in our browser-based application, users get the help in a new window but they do not get the message about enabling ActiveX that I see when I launch the help locally... which means that they do not get the Search field in the toolbar nor in the Search tab, and the Search tab is an embarrassing (and confusing) list of every possible item that might be searched. It also means they don't see the colors of the skin we created for the toolbar, because the ActiveX toolbar doesn't replace the default WebHelp toolbar.
This WebHelp was created with RoboHelp 7, running in IE 8.
Any ideas how to at least give our customers the option to allow ActiveX?

Hello again
In this particular case I do believe ActiveX is a bit of a misnomer. ActiveX normally refers to a specific control. An applet in the browser. It's specific to Microsoft Internet Explorer. You can read more about ActiveX at the link below.
Click here to view
What happens is that Microsoft Internet Explorer posts the YIB with a rather generic ActiveX warning because it is seeing the JavaScript. I dunno, maybe IE uses an ActiveX control to interpret the JavaScript. That's far beyond my capabilities to explain.
So to answer your question, yes your users will need a JavaScript enabled browser in order to see your WebHelp skin in all its glory.
Assuming your IT peeps have allowed you access to these settings, you might investigate changing some options for IE as described in the link below:
