Access Denied Error When Saving Workflow Templates Or Snippets

ISSUE

When trying to save a workflow template or snippet, with a user account that has both "Full Control" permissions at the web level and is a member of the "Allowed Workflow Designers" list, an Access Denied error might occur.

RESOLUTION

Grant desired user accounts "Contribute rights" to the NintexTemplates library at the site collection level (https://YourSiteURL/NintexTemplates).

 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Nintex Workflow Templates and Snippets are saved into a hidden library at the site collection level, so while a user account will be able to publish a regular list workflow at the web level, when attempting to save a template or snippet their site collection permissions are being checked and failing.
