This is about sending a message (Send Message/Receive Message events) from a pro

Question

This is about sending a message (Send Message/Receive Message events) from a process instance to another. When initiating with a user having administrative rights messaging works but it does not if using a user with lesser privileges. I am wondering if some log file can give me more feedback about this (I haven't found anything in the logs yet) or if someone knows what is the security level required to be able to send a message from one instance to another. Thanks in advance!

Did you already have a look at forum.appian.com/.../Messaging_Best_Practices.html

This solved a years-long mystery for me. I've always thought there was something wrong with the way I was configuring events, so I kind of gave up on trying to use them because things always stopped working as soon as users without system admin rights got involved. Seems strange for the default behavior in process models to be that only system admins (or the process initiator, I think) can send messages to the process - I feel like it should be public by default, and you'd have to check a box if you want it to be limited.
