Documentum: Security on Lifecycles

Something that caught me out today (mainly due to not reading the manual!); as well as requiring the appropriate permissions on the document/object that you are applying the lifecycle to, you also requires at least RELATE permissions on the lifecycle. Installing a lifecycle without setting an ACL may result in the error DM_SYSOBJECT_E_NO_RELATE_ACCESS when trying to assign it to a document (or the lifecycle not being available to select).

To correct the ACL on a lifecycle that has been installed use DQL to find the ACL that has been applied ...

select acl_name from dm_policy where object_name = 'your lifecycle name'

.. then, in DA update the ACL to allow the required users/groups RELATE permissions.
