Hello,

I'm back with a solution even if I'm not sure if it's the best. Any way that solved my problem.

I modified the method ObjectRenderer_renderCellAdd of object-finder.js to check if the user is the document coordinator and if there is no other active workflow linked to the document.

Instead of :
<javascript>
elCell.innerHTML = '<a id="' + containerId + '" href="#" ' + style + ' class="add-item add-' + scope.eventGroup + '" title="' + scope.msg("form.control.object-picker.add-item") + '" tabindex="0"><span class="addIcon"> </span></a>';
</javascript>

I put :

<javascript>

var showSelectLink = true;
            if(oRecord.getData("type") == "cm:content"){
               showSelectLink = false;
               //Checking if the document is already in an other active worflow
               var xmlHttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
               var url = window.location.href;
               var arr = url.split("/");
               xmlHttp.open( "GET", (arr[0] + "//" + arr[2]).concat("/alfresco/s/api/node/").concat((oRecord.getData("nodeRef")).replace(":/","")).concat("/workflow-instances"), false );
               xmlHttp.send( null );
               var json = JSON.parse(xmlHttp.responseText);

               if(json.data.length == 0){
               //Checking if the logged on user is the document coordinator
                  xmlHttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
                  xmlHttp.open( "GET", (arr[0] + "//" + arr[2]).concat("/alfresco/s/slingshot/doclib/permissions/").concat((oRecord.getData("nodeRef")).replace(":/","")), false );
                  xmlHttp.send( null );
                  var json = JSON.parse(xmlHttp.responseText);
                  var hasDirectPermission = false;
                  //Direct permission
                  if(json.direct.length != 0){
                     var permission;
                     for(var index = 0; index < json.direct.length; index++){
                        permission = json.direct[index];
                        if(permission.role == "Coordinator"){
                           showSelectLink = true;
                           hasDirectPermission = true;
                           break;
                        }
                     }
                  }
                  //Inherited Permission
                  if(!hasDirectPermission && json.inherited.length != 0){
                     var permission;
                     for(var index = 0; index < json.inherited.length; index++){
                        permission = json.inherited[index];
                        if(permission.role == "Coordinator"){
                           showSelectLink = true;
                           break;
                        }
                     }
                  }
               }
            }

            if(showSelectLink){
               elCell.innerHTML = '<a id="' + containerId + '" href="#" ' + style + ' class="add-item add-' + scope.eventGroup + '" title="' + scope.msg("form.control.object-picker.add-item") + '" tabindex="0"><span class="addIcon"> </span></a>';
            }

</javascript>
