Promotion Request

[Amirtharaj_K]

Hi Guys,

I have a question about a promotion request. My object is currently in Pre-Released status and I want to change it to Inwork status.

My Object: EPM Document 

ACL:

Rule 1: Read access can only be granted in pre-release states. 
Rule 2: Promotion requests are only applicable to change pre-released to in-work.

If I only provide read access for EPM, I won't be able to create a promotion request. But if I provide a modification right, I can create a promotion request, as well as check-out also, I don't want check-out. Which scenario do we use here?

Regards,

AJ

Hmm, learned something today. Well, that is a pickle.  I might suggest changing your business process to have an authorized user who does have modify access to pre-release create the promotion request. Since its in a pre-release state and you want to lock it down to most all users, it makes sense to be an exception process that is limited to a few folks. Would that work?

Hi @Amirtharaj_K 

You can try one trick 😄 

grant ACL set state, and add the user to the profile where you hide all buttons for the set state.

It could work for you 😄
