Dreaded “Access Denied” on SPD Workflows

A client called stating that they had lost access to the majority of their content. It looks like in the process of creating a new Doc Library at the root of their portal, either there was a hiccup, or they accidentally edited the root site’s permissions instead of just the Doc Library. Oops.

This started on the same day as the permissions issue, so I had initially assumed the workflow was trying to write somewhere that the user no longer had access to.

Here’s a quick example of some possibilities of what you can do. It’s nothing too elaborate, but should be impressive if you know what to look for. :)
