Workflow
actions or buttons are not included with any of
the applications when you install them. You can add the workflow actions
and buttons to an application without activating a process. For example,
you can make the actions and buttons visible for user training. You
can also create customized toolbar buttons before activating a process.
Before you begin
Users are not automatically
granted access to workflow actions.
An administrator must use the Security Groups application to grant
users security permissions to workflow actions. The workflow actions
appear in the Security Groups application when you add workflow support
to an application. You can grant users access to actions before you
activate a process.
