Unable to Start Workflow in Alfresco Share

[poundpuppy]

Hi there,

I am unable to start a standard Alfresco Review and Approve workflow when I select "Send Email Notifications".  The error in the Tomcat log is as follows, and the screenshot of the error message is attached.

Any help much appreciated.  Thanks!

Could you please verify that you have appropriate permission to start workflow on content.Also check your mail configuration.

Hi Yogesh,

Thanks for the suggestions.  They both seem to be in order.  I am able to initiate the workflow as long as that button is not checked, and I receive other Alfresco notifications.

The error is caused by email notification need to use template in "Company Home/Data Dictionary/Email Templates/workflow notification",but your user has no permission to access the template.
Make sure "Company Home/Data Dictionary/Email Templates/workflow notification" can read by every one.
