The name of the error message is a bit misleading. There are no permissions when it comes to workflows / tasks. The basic requirement for being allowed access is that the current user must either be the initiator of the workflow, the assignee of a current task or someone that has previously participated in the workflow (e.g. personally completed a task).

Thanks Axel that piece of information is really useful. My problem is my user for particular scenario doesnt have the any of the above mentioned requirements is there any way we can overcome this ?

Unless you replace the AOP interceptor handling these checks there is no way to overcome this other than to include the user(s) in the process somehow.
