I don't know if it is problem with some roles or permission. But I can suggest some workaround you can try if it is working or not.. From this code you will be able to run your script as admin user irrespective of the login user.
Add following java file at repo side as RunAsAdminUtil.java
package com.demo.platformsample;
import org.alfresco.repo.jscript.BaseScopableProcessorExtension;
import org.alfresco.repo.security.authentication.AuthenticationUtil;
import org.alfresco.repo.security.authentication.AuthenticationUtil.RunAsWork;
import org.mozilla.javascript.Context;
import org.mozilla.javascript.Function;
import org.mozilla.javascript.Scriptable;
/**
*
* Purpose: Creates javaScript function to run any javaScript code as administrator
*
*/
public class RunAsAdminUtil extends BaseScopableProcessorExtension {
/**
* This method runs javascript function with Admin privileges
*
* @param func
*/
@SuppressWarnings({ "rawtypes", "unchecked" })
public void runAsAdmin(final Function func) {
final Context cx = Context.getCurrentContext();
final Scriptable scope = getScope();
RunAsWork raw = new RunAsWork() {
public Object doWork() throws Exception {
func.call(cx, scope, scope, new Object[] {});
return null;
}
};
AuthenticationUtil.runAs(raw, AuthenticationUtil.getSystemUserName());
}
}
In service-context.xml register this class like this..
<bean id="runAsAdminUtil" parent="baseJavaScriptExtension"
class="com.demo.platformsample.RunAsAdminUtil">
<property name="extensionName">
<value>runAsAdminUtil</value>
</property>
</bean>
And user your code something like this..
function forRunAsAdmin(){
var workflow = actions.create("start-workflow");
workflow.parameters.workflowName = "activiti$activitiReview";
workflow.parameters["bpm:workflowDescription"] = "Please assign approver for "+ document.name;
workflow.parameters["bpm:groupAssignee"] = people.getGroup("GROUP_cadgroup");
workflow.parameters["bpm:sendEMailNotifications"] = true;
workflow.execute(document);
}
runAsAdminUtil.runAsAdmin(forRunAsAdmin);
By doing this you will be able to run your script as admin user.
Hope it works for you.
