How to fix the Error "User public is not authorized to approve the page in current step".

In your program, you need to make sure you're performing that page creation/copy in the context of a user who has permissions. Is the program a scheduled task? If so, in the scheduled task you can simply choose there to run the task under a given user. In this case, use a user who has permission to copy pages in the content tree.

Hi, Brenden.

Thank you for your answer. We will add further information for you.

First, the code is as follows.

protected override void OnInit() 
{ 
    base.OnInit(); 
    WorkflowEvents.Publish.After += Workflow_Publish_After; 

...

private void UpdateRolandProductOfCultures(WorkflowEventArgs e, ref string logMessage) 
{ 
    this.UpdateSelfCulture(e, ref logMessage); 
    if (e.PublishedDocument.IsDefaultCulture) 
    { 
        this.OverrideFromGlobal(e, ref logMessage); 
    } 
} 

... 

private void OverrideFromGlobal(WorkflowEventArgs e, ref string logMessage) 
{ 
    var globalPages = ProductProvider.GetProduct(e.PublishedDocument.NodeGUID, e.PublishedDocument.DocumentCulture, e.PublishedDocument.NodeSiteName); 
    foreach (var page in globalPages) 
    { 
        foreach (Product cultureVersion in page.CultureVersions) 
        { 
                if (cultureVersion.IsDefaultCulture) 
                { 
                    continue; 
                } 

                cultureVersion.CheckOut(); 
                cultureVersion.DocumentPublishFrom = page.DocumentPublishFrom; 
                cultureVersion.DocumentPublishTo = page.DocumentPublishTo; 
                cultureVersion.Update(); 
                cultureVersion.CheckIn(); 
                cultureVersion.Publish(); 
            } 

Then, when we log the contents of MembershipContext.AuthenticatedUser in the Workflow_Publish_After event when it is executed without setting "Publish From", we get the following results.

• MembershipContext.AuthenticatedUser -- user.Email:(email of admin) -- user.FullName: Global Administrator -- user.SiteIndependentPrivilegeLevel:GlobalAdmin

For a scheduled publish, the following results - MembershipContext.AuthenticatedUser -- user.Email: -- user.FullName: Public Anonymous User -- user.SiteIndependentPrivilegeLevel:None

I got to the point where I was sure I had no privileges, but then I couldn't figure out how to run a scheduled publish with the privileges of a GlobalAdmin.

If so, in a scheduled task you can simply choose there to run the task under a given user. In this case, use a user who has permission to copy pages in the content tree. In this case, use a user who has permission to copy pages in the content tree.

If so, and you have responded to the above answer, what exactly should I do?

Thank you for getting back to me so quickly with an answer.

You say. Schedule tasks->Tasks->(select individual site in 'Site:')->Content publishing->In 'Use context of user' select Global Administorator

Is this correct?

In fact, when I did that, I was able to publish correctly, including other cultures. Thanks very much from Japan.

I thought about setting the same permissions for Public Anonymous User as Administrator, but the way you showed me seems to be safer, with no impact on other processes.

Best regards.
