Request For Activate

I'm trying to make a page/site activation workflow in Adobe AEM 6.2

I need the following steps to be executed:

  1. Author creating and editing the page and push "Request for Activate" Button in top menu.
  2. Administrator (publisher) receiving e-mail with page link, making review and publish it.
  3. Author receiving e-mail about the page was published.

So far I've created 2 users, one in authors group, another user in administrators group.

Under author user I've created a Geometrix site from template. In site permissions I've added group administrator with all permissions and group authors with all permissions except publish/unpublish option.

I've started a Request For Activation Workflow on this site with default model template.

The problem is that my author user doesn't have "Request for Activate" button in the top menu: Author page edit menu

I think author user miss some permission. Please help :)

The user who needs to start the Request for Activation workflow must have workflow privileges, as well as no replication permissions. Put them in the workflow-users group.

Not sure exactly what permissions you have done. I have created a test-authors similar to your permissions as shown below. if i don't provide the Replicate permissions the replication actions like (Publish, Publish Later, Unpublish, etc) will not be enabled. That's the expected behaviour.

Test Authors Group Test Authors group

With out Replicate Permissions With out replicate

With Replicate permissions with replicate
