Workflow emails sent to wrong users

Users who are part of Global Administrator role and are Global Administrators will also receive the email. There's no work around for that aside from writing your own workflow engine. Could this be the issue? What roles are the users who receive the email in?

They are all custom roles. We have the following Roles

• Workflow
• Foo
• Foo2

The workflow step is configured so that anyone with the "Workflow" role will get the emails. The approver has the "workflow" role, while Worker1 and Worker2 have both roles Foo and Foo2. They are all editors.

Understand, this doesn't answer the question though. What users who should not be getting the emails are and what roles or privilege level are they part of? Are you sure none of them have any other roles assigned to them?

If you look at the first "INFORMATION" point on this documentation page, it states:

"The system sends all workflow emails to users who have the Manage workflow permission, regardless of the settings on the Security tab of a custom workflow step."

So if a user is part of a different role which has the "Manage workflow" permission, they will get emails no matter what. Unfortunately, this is can even be an editor of sorts.

Both only have roles "foo" and "foo2". I also checked the module permssions for both roles per your advice and they do not have the manage workflow property checked. Any other ideas you think I can check? Thanks!

So the 2 you mentioned above are the two receiving emails correct?

Yes, I think they are the only 2 who are getting these emails when they should not.

Do they own the pages or were they the last ones to modify the page?

No they haven't touched the page ever, and they do not have access to add anything to the page. The role foo which the users is in only as access to read and browse tree.
