Cause

This issue is caused by missing the read permission for the Process Configuration entity privilege in the user's assigned security role.

Resolution

To fix this issue, follow these steps:

  1. Click Settings, and then click Administration.
  2. Click Security Roles.
  3. Open the Security Role(s) of the affected users.
  4. Find the Process Configuration privilege, and assign organization read access.
  5. Click Save and Close.

More information

All out of the box security roles are updated to include organization level 'read' access for the Process Configuration entity after the December 2012 Service Update is applied. However, custom security roles are not updated to include this privilege.

The process control, as well as the tab control, can also appear missing if the user has switched their default form preference in the left navigation area. For more information concerning this symptom, please see the following KB article:
