Symptom
Self-Service for Time Account Payout Workflow not Triggering
Environment
Employee Central, Time off
Reproducing the Issue
- Define a workflow (with approvers) on the Time Account Payout Profile object of associated Time Account Type
- Configure a save rule to trigger this workflow on the Time Account Payout Object.
- Submit a Payout Request
- See workflow to manager is not triggered.
Cause
This is due to the user having the Permission "Admin access to ODATA API"
The API permissions provides access to all MDF objects. If the user has this, a workflow will not be triggered as it is super admin permission, and should not be provided to basic / non-admin users.
Resolution
Disable this Permission for the user if you wish workflows to be triggered for their payout requests.
