[Assign to Me] Missing in Workflow
The [Assign to Me] link is missing for users in the group assigned in the transition step even if the user/group has a rolle with full admin rights. The link only appears when the user/group is given the default "Administrator" role. What am I missing?

Can you provide us:
And can you also tell us:
Usually, missing this ability indicates an issue with the group membership or with the scope of the role assigned to that user.
Thanks!

Yes I'm using Sites. The user I'm testing with has a Global role with "Assign to self and approve steps in a workflow: Enabled"
Workflow:
mode notify mode notify mode notify mode notify mode notify mode notify mode notify mode notify mode notify
Attached is a screen capture.

Hi, Site Roles trump Global Roles when a user in a Site, so you'll need to make sure that whatever Site Role that user has also permits him to assign workflows to himself.

This user doesn't have any Site roles applied. This user only has one
Role, which has "Assign to self and approve steps in a workflow: Enabled."

Does the user have browsing access to the Site where the workflow is being used? Users should have at least one Site Role unless they're a Global Administrator. This Site Role determines if they have the ability to do things like assign workflows to themselves. If they don't have a Site Role, it's assumed that they don't have the ability.

Having Site Role as opposed to a Global Role made the difference. Thanks.
