Hi Guys,

Everything was woking fine untill yesterday. I am constantly getting post-processing error while I am trying to update an attribute for a group in portal. When I looked into Advanced properties of the request I realized that there is an action workflow that is getting terminated. The reason it gives is as below:

EXCEPTION DATA\r\n\r\nMESSAGE: Microsoft.ResourceManagement.WebServices.Exceptions.PermissionDeniedException: ManagementPolicyRule
   at Microsoft.ResourceManagement.Workflow.Hosting.RequestWorkItemProcessor.DispatchRequest[TResponseType](RequestType request, Boolean applyAuthorizationPolicy)
   at Microsoft.ResourceManagement.Workflow.Hosting.RequestWorkItemProcessor.ProcessPutWorkItem(UpdateRequestWorkItem updateWorkItem)
   at Microsoft.ResourceManagement.Workflow.Hosting.RequestWorkItemProcessor.ProcessWorkItem(WorkItem workItem)\r\n\r\n**METHOD:Void ProcessRequestResponse(System.Object, System.Workflow.ComponentModel.QueueEventArgs)\r\n\r\n**METHOD:Boolean Run(System.Workflow.ComponentModel.IWorkflowCoreRuntime)\r\n\r\n**METHOD:Void Run()\r\n\r\n

Most of the time it gives this error and at times by luck, the same update activity gets completed without any error. Unable to understand this wierd situation.

There has been no changes made to the MPR or the Workflow. I am unable to figure out what permission is this error referring to. The MPR/Workflow which is throwing this error is a request based MPR to update a particular attribute whenever a group is updated. Requestors has a set and I am a part of that set.

Also noted that the account that is used for updating  the particular attribute whenever the group is updated is mentioned as "Service Account" from the drop down. Which account does this refer to. Is this the account with which FIM Service is running or its the account configured in FIM Management agent. I am suspecting this account is missing some permission.

I am struggling since yest. Please help me if anyone has gone through the same issue and have a suggestion/solution to try.

Guys,

Not sure what was the issue but restarting the server did the trick. Cheers!!
