Hi All,

 

I will cover today how I manage to solve this error of flow wherein it opened in read only mode.

 

Error Details:

 

  • flow is read-only
  • flow can not be activated
  • error show "Insufficient access level for operation [write] on Action Design entity [sys_hub_flow : <sys_id>]

 

Resolution Steps:

 

  1. In the flow designer when the broken flow is open, in the URL observer the sys_id after
    <instance_name>.servicenow.com/$flow-designer.do?sysparm_nostack=true#/flow-designer/18fc6a61db4e1010542ae8cd13961976
  2. go to table [sys_hub_flow], search the record that has the sys id
  3. bring in column main snapshot, and copy the value of the column
  4. replace the sys id in the URL with this one
  5. edit, save or activate the flow

 

 

Hope this helps you.
