About read-only workflows

Last update: Mon Apr 14 2025 00:00:00 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

Some workflows are read-only. Built-in technical workflows are always read-only, but this restriction can also apply to other types of workflows.

Campaign users may have restricted access to Adobe Campaign data. A Campaign administrator can grant them the right to view certain features, but not to edit or modify them. User permissions on data are essential to ensure data and process security. Learn more about permissions management in Campaign in this section.
