I have setup and configured the workflow manager and registered the workflow service with power shell. I can create and start a workflow by using the SharePoint UI. This workflow completes successfully and updates the workflow status.
However, if I attempt to publish a similar SP2013 workflow (list, reusable, or site workflow all generate the following error) to our SP2013 site, it generates the following error. I am a site collection administrator, and a farm administrator. I have confirmed that my user account has full control over the list I am attempting to publish the workflow to, in addition to the workflow tasks and workflow status lists. I have also generated the same error message from a different user account that has site collection admin and farm admin access. This appears to be a server configuration issue. We have a looming deadline, and I have other objectives, so I am posting the message here.
If I am not mistaken, the AccessIsDenied error thrown is a WCF error. I assume that this issue is either the user account does not have access to invoke the Workflow Manager WCF service, or the user does not have permissions to access the Workflow Manager DB.
Any help that can be provided in narrowing down the cause and resolving this issue is appreciated.
