Hi Shannon,

There used to be a Permission definition on the WorkflowModel itself for the BPM engine, what you needed to do was to override the bpm property and change it to the one that gave you what you need for the files inside the workflow. This would affect only the files and not the fields.


      <type name="wf:reviewTask">
         <parent>bpm:workflowTask</parent>
         <overrides>
            <property name="bpm:packageItemActionGroup">
               <default>edit_package_item_actions</default>
            </property>
         </overrides>
      </type>

From what I know, the users permission on the document is all you can control. If they have edit on the document they will get the 'edit' version of the workflow form. What you can do however, is force the fields on the form for that task to be read only. This means that anyone who sees the form will not be able to edit those fields, no matter what their permission on the document. Hopefully this works for your scenario.

If you need some users to edit the fields and some users to not edit the fields for the same task, you will need to create two tasks and there by two separate form configs.

Hope that helps.
