Hi,

The problem you're seeing is not a bug. What's happening is that when you execute a simple workflow, you execute it as the currently logged in user. So that user must be able to create files in order for the move to succeed.

There are ways to work around this and you might find this post useful.

Hope this helps,

Thanks Rivet,
I' ll study carefully your suggestion. But from the Alfresco PACKT book on page 80 the 'Create Content within space' permission is granted to Contributor so I do not understand why I 've to use the more powerfull permission of Collaborator role.

Thanks anyway
